The model comes with it’s original box and packaging. The box was opened by original owner to verify contents and once again here to take the attached photos displaying its condition. Scale – 1:500, Hand painted with a mahogany wood base and brass name plaque. Condition – Pristine condition, in original packaging and box so if as brand new. Some of the boxes might have a musty scent or very light smoke odor. Note that this issue seems to effect the exterior box and not the item itself or interior packaging. I have taken steps to air them out where necessary but wanted to note it just to be fully transparent. Please reach out with any additional questions and be sure to view my other listings as we’ll have a significant number of Danbury Mint collectibles in the coming days.
