XL-5 Fireball & Stingray

#1 Post by tellmyre »

Any clue what the going price is for Comet Miniatures Fireball XL-5 or Stingray models? The vacuum form ones from the late 80's.

tough call on these..
They're rare at this point, but very tough builds. The Stingray is actually a nice kit, very accurate.
I would range them at $45 and up... honestly. K

Geoff, I would think there is a minimum one digit missing from the 5 or there a number or two missing in front of the 5 or the 5 is 1960 dollars. LOL

Hey Pete. If you are on Facebook, there are fan groups that would probably like those. A guy called Robert Zijderveld runs an appreciation group or two for Gerry Anderson stuff. :D
