Still factory sealed but the seal has split. This hardbox issue or Monogram's venerable Tri-Motor is dated 1965 and if from the original molds, however, it contains decals for TWA 25th Anniversary C.A.A. flight (the earlier Four Star issues only had Byrd Antarctic markings). NOTE: the box looks 'excellent' or better in the photo but here is why it is only graded 'very good': while the kit is still sealed, a previous owner used clear tape to keep the splits together. Unfortunately, some of the tape is actually on the box top itself. I recommend using lighter fluid to soak and remove the tape; this is successful about 90% of the time. "Bestine Solvent" works better because it is just as strong but cannot stain (in about 10% of the cases, lighter fluid can leave a very light stain.)
