Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons

An original missile miniature used in the production of the classic 1967 series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons made by the Century 21 productions company of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, John Read and Reg Hill.

This missile miniature was used on screen in the episode Flight to Atlantica on the World Navy base. Constructed from turned wood with metal fins, painted white and weathered, further detailed with numerous automotive tape detailing in various colours. The missile features one metal hook eye which was used to wire the miniature for filming, it lacks the second, the hole clearly visible where it was placed. The interior base of the miniature exhibits minor scorch marks from the pyrotechnic device used to 'launch' the missile on screen.

The miniature remains in excellent screen used condition with a minor crack to the base from production use.

A highly displayable artefact from this highly regarded series and a testament to the quality of Century 21 miniature effects.
