I haven't yet seen this particular E-Bay item, but
I suspect this is the Studio 2 SHADO Mobile
model kit which has been builtup and detailed.
There was a great article in the # 44 issue of
Sci-Fi Fantasy Models International of a Control
Mobile model. Same size as the one on E-Bay.
And in issues #40 through 43, there is a kit
review of the Studio 2 kit. I'm almost sure this
E-Bay model, it is not an original prop as most were
destroyed during the series. I suppose one or two
may still be around to tour at Fanderson cons but an
actual Anderson ./ Meddings Mobile would surely
command a higher price than is currently being offered.
If this is the studio 2 model however, it is still a nice
model but it has a few accuracy flaws in its design
but nothing too serious unless your a serious collector.
I think I'd rather make my own than pay that price...
In fact....Ummmmmmmm, Nope, I'll announce that
later... <looking mysterious> 8-
