More Information
The collection shows varying degrees of play-wear. The large-scale racer has a detached but present rear air intake and roll hoop component (photo 7). Surface dust and grime are visible throughout the larger model, with minor lifting to decal edges (photo 1). The 1:36 scale pair exhibit paint chipping to the wings and body, and one car has a bent rear axle (photo 5). The Batmobile shows significant paint loss along the raised edges of the casting and wheel arches, and surface corrosion is present on the axles (photo 4).
