Revell Harley-Davidson FXB-80 Sturgis Model Kit

The item is a boxed model kit for a Harley-Davidson FXB-80 Sturgis motorcycle, manufactured by Revell. The box features a large, detailed image of the assembled model of the black motorcycle with dark red accents on the wheels and 'Sturgis' badging. The bike has a classic cruiser aesthetic with chrome detailing on the engine, exhaust, and suspension components, an upright handlebar, a single rider seat, and a passenger backrest. The box prominently displays the 'Revell' logo in yellow and blue in the top left corner, and 'HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXB-80 STURGIS' in the top right. Below the main image, the scale '1/15 Scale' is indicated. The box appears to be in good overall condition, showing only minor signs of shelf wear such as slight creasing or scuffing that is typical for a cardboard box of its age. There are no significant tears or punctures visible. The colors on the box art remain vibrant. This kit likely contains injection-molded plastic parts, decals, and instructions for assembly. Given the model of the motorcycle, the kit itself likely dates from the late 1970s to early 1980s, reflecting the period of the actual Harley-Davidson FXB-80 Sturgis motorcycle. This model kit is a collectible item, appealing to motorcycle enthusiasts and model builders alike due to its iconic subject matter and Revell's reputation for detailed kits.
