1/48 H214-89 Revell Sikorsky S-55 - Pre 'S' Issue - First Issue With Once-Piece Stand Arm
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Very rare, true first issue from 1955 in the correct Pre-S hardbox. The amazing artwork is by Richard Kishady. This is the true first issue because it includes the rare one-piece stand arm and correctly show it in the instructions also. This stand arm was weak and Revell quickly replaced it with the two-piece version. This kit features detailed cockpit and two pilots, rotating main and tail rotors, detailed engine and optional position clam-shell nose doors. Molded in the correct high-gloss dark olive drab and clear and with the famous 'New Revelving Swivel Base." Never started. All of the small parts are still in the factory sealed parts bag; the few large parts that were never sealed have been inventoried complete. Includes decals and instructions. The decals are perfectly flat, 100% intact and in 'excellent' condition with some age yellowing as the only flaw. The instructions are in 'near mint' condition. The box has brilliant color & gloss, four solid corners, no stains, tear, missing litho or price tags & tape (other than the factory sealing tape. The flaws are very light creasing and slight edge wear.
