Herpa Singapore Airlines 510516 RARE set of four w/ Concorde brand new & sealed.

Description

Herpa Singapore Airlines Heritage Series 1 510516 SUPER RARE.
This set was produced for Singapore Airlines to sell in 2003, and limited to 3000 sets.
This set is brand new in a sealed package. The three photos of the closed box are the actual set for sale. I also own a set that I'm keeping, and I used that set for photos of the opened box and individual item photos. (My set is missing the DC-3, but the package you're bidding on includes all four models):
Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 (a 777-200)
Malayan Airways Douglas DC-3
MSA Boeing 707
Dual livery British Airways / Singapore Airlines Concorde
This Concorde was my "white whale" of 500:1 collecting.
BA's Concorde G-BOAD, was painted in Singapore Airlines livery on the port side and British Airways livery on the starboard side. The service was discontinued after three return flights because of noise complaints from the Malaysian government; it could only be reinstated on a new route by passing Malaysian airspace in 1979. A dispute with India prevented Concorde from reaching supersonic speeds in Indian airspace so the route was discontinued in 1980.
You can see that the box has some shelf wear, but the sleeve (which isn't discolored, it's tinted yellow) protected it to a degree.
Shipped by UPS Ground with full tracking and insurance.
I've set the shipping at to allow me to pack the kit very carefully in a larger box, with at least 2" of padding on every side. I'm pretty sure UPS will charge me more than that, their rates have been getting pretty high. I think they're even still collecting a "fuel surcharge". :\
