Revell USS Wasp CVA-18-Gemeni Recovery
Original 1969 sealed issue, near perfect box. Heck It's in better shape than I am!
Gemini Recovery Vessel
1969, darn nice shape for nearly 50 years old!
They sure didn't believe in "packaging" back then.
Decals are like new. Notice the instruction sheet is brown form laying on the bottom of the box, from the acid in the paper.
Deck & hull
close up deck,,,,
,,,,
,,, & hull, not bad detail!
,,,,
don't believe I've ever seen a sprue like this. Must have been folded over while still hot!
the same untangled!
actually the detail is pretty good,,,,
,,,,, better that i expected!
,,,,
pretty decent detail on the superstructure too!
looks good to me!
not bad at all
the aircraft,,,,
,,, quite a bit of flash.
I'm totally amazed none of the rotors are broken!
a few loose pieces.
not bad detail.
the capsule,,,, tiny!
packed the rotors so the wont get broken.
cut the sprues into baggie sizes and packed things up
and added some filler in the box, it should store well until i get to it.

Robert W MartelOriginal 1969 sealed kit in super nice condition. The box is like new! Pretty decent looking kit. Actually much better than some of the newer 1/720 kits I have. I like it!!

Robert W MartelWow, maybe I didn't do so bad after all. One of these just sold on ebay for $127.50 + $9.99 s/h! I guess I got a decent price @ $55 + $12 s/h. Well,,,,,, considering it was probably $3 in 1969!
