Overall fair condition, has rusting to both battery compartments, one compartment won’t open. Base itself isn’t bad, but it isn’t good either. Some rusting near bottom on the back. Still displays nicely and has all the parts, includes the wind up handle. Wind up part barely works. Think the problem is with the plane. That part the plane goes onto turns easily but then kind of sticks when you insert it into the plane. To get the plane going you need to pull it back and hold it while you crank the handle. The launch button still works but the plane goes about 6 before stopping, maybe less, will not go far enough to make you smile. Plane has something rattling around in it, not sure if that has something to do with it. Overall you might be able to restore it with some time and skills. Either way it still displays fairly well. Box isn’t too bad, some staining inside and one flap needs staples reattached. Both staples are there and you can probably fix it with a little time. Another thing, I do have the cardboard piece that goes over the bottom to cover the batteries. It’s in decent shape, light staining, snaps to bottom very easily. Also wanted to mention the radar tower spins around when you turn the handle. Overall this still looks really cool and has a bunch of useful parts if you’re looking for those.
