Lot 387: Boxed Tri-ang Arkitex 1/42 Scale Model Construction Kit
A vintage Tri-ang Arkitex scale model architectural construction kit, manufactured by Lines Bros Ltd in the United Kingdom. This modernist building set is designed to 1/42 scale, specifically intended for compatibility with the Tri-ang Spot-On range of die-cast vehicles. The kit is housed in its original illustrated cardboard box, featuring period graphics of a building site and a modernist structure. The box lid includes the Tri-ang registered trademark in a red rectangle and Arkitex branding in blue block capitals, alongside a drafting compass logo indicating the 1/42 scale. The graphics also note the association with Spot-On models. Affixed to the lid are a white sticker with the handwritten numeral 7 and an orange sticker with the number 387. The kit components typically consist of plastic structural pieces for architectural modelling.
Condition report:
The original box lid shows significant age-related wear, with noticeable scuffing, rubbing, and surface paper loss along all edges and corners. Several creases and small tears are visible on the lid surface. The colours show some overall fading but remain legible. There is evidence of previous tape or repairs to the box corners. As the internal contents are not visible in the provided image, the completeness and condition of the pieces cannot be verified.
