War Of The Worlds 1953 Martian War Machine 1/48 Copper Plated Display OOP

War of the Worlds has been my all time favorite movies since the first time I saw it as a kid decades ago. I have always thought the martian war machine was one of the coolest ships ever created and have wanted one for the longest time. I am not a modeler so I was very pleased to find this ready to display version. It's an outstanding replica and a nice size for display. When I finally removed it from the box though, I was very disappointed with how scratched up the finish is, especially from the packaging (the wire ties and plastic form that hold it in place in the display box).
