Revell XSL-01 Manned Space Ship - 'S' Issue, 1/96, H1800-198
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$800
One of the 'Holy Grails' of 1950s Space Kits and in great condition inside and out. This is the 1957 first and only issue 'S' Kit with fantastic box art. The molds were reportedly damaged beyond use, which makes reissues impossible. The spaceship was designed by the rocket scientist Ellwyn E. Angle of Systems Laboratories Inc. Features detailed manned top stage with full interior, removable top, opening hatch, spaceship and ground crew members and detailed working launch pad. The main stages and boosters snap apart to recreate all phases of the flight from Earth takeoff, Lunar Landing and Return to Earth. The included 'XSL-01 Operations Manual' outlines in words and illustrations each phase of the spaceship's trip. Molded in the correct gloss orange, silver, gloss metallic blue and clear. Never started. All internal factory cardboard presentation material is present and excellent. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. The decals are perfectly flat, 100% intact and graded 'excellent++' with very light age yellowing as the only flaw. The Operations Manual booklet is in 'excellent' condition. The instructions are graded 'Very Good+' only because a previous owner marked off the part numbers as he inventoried the kit; other than that, they are fine. The box is graded 'very good' and features factory-new color and gloss, four solid corners, no repairs, fading or stains, no price tags or marks from price tags. Flaws include light creases as shown on the two lower corners, light surface wear (mainly to the right of "Space Ship" as shown) and a 1" x 1/2" tape tear on the right long side. Shipping insurance is required on this kit.
