BLAKE AND MORTIMER FANTASY CARS & VEHICLES (HACHETTE) N°59: The Red Seaplane Based on the album The Francis Blake Affair. Collector's model in metal and injection-molded plastic, from the official Hachette collection, faithfully reproducing the famous red seaplane that plays a key role in the twists and turns of Edgar P. Jacobs' espionage adventure. The model is presented on its decorated black circular base. Characteristics and contents of the lot: Status: Brand new in original sealed packaging (original plastic over-blister intact). Components included: * The red seaplane miniature on its display base. Exclusive documentary booklet n°59 detailing the vehicle's history, album sketches and technical data. Condition: Vehicle: mint condition, perfectly protected under its original transparent thermoformed double hull. No damage to paintwork or fragile parts (propeller, floats). Packaging / Booklet: Fully sealed in its original bag. There is some folding and general deformation of the large, flexible cardboard backing and booklet at the rear, caused by tight storage (visible in the profile photos). The outer plastic bag is also creased, but the central rigid blister protects the miniature ideally. A superb classic aircraft model, ideal for fans of Jacobs' world.
