Model / Catalogue No.: M89101/7

The contents appear to have been stored for many years and are in good vintage condition overall. The outer box shows normal age and storage wear.

I have not counted every individual bead or component, so I cannot guarantee that the kit is 100% complete compared with its original factory contents. Please study the photographs carefully as they show the actual set being sold and form an important part of the description.
