Hi Paul, Thanks for the swift reply. I'm attaching a couple of pics of the SL logo and Empire Made text from the box and a shot of the underneath of the rocket where "Made in Hong Kong" appears. Having scoured both box and rocket, I can't see anything with a date, but hope the No. 121 C under the SL logo will help you there.As far as using pics goes, please go ahead. As far as credit goes, I'd be grateful if you would use the name Discardarama. 7
If you want more pics, info, I'm more than happy to help. I can tell you that it is in working condition, with a slight tendency to turn left. The figure inside is still fixed in place and nothing seems loose or missing. The stickers look fine but there are some signs of age elsewhere. The blue cockpit canopy has traces of yellowed glue in places, and there is more on a tail fin and underneath on the friction motor fitting. The wheels are the least well moulded part of the thing, with the smaller front wheel in silver, the rear main wheels being black and silver. The whole thing seems to be kept in place by the 2 screws underneath, so there is a slight gap on one side where the top and bottom don't fit flush. It doesn't appear to have ever been taken apart as there is still glue on the head of the rear screw.
