Hi Jazz,

I think that the Scorpion would almost certainly have been packaged in a blister pack but if I was to stick it in a box, I'd pick up the later 'I' type rather than a 'G' type.

I guess it's down to your own preference really.

It is said that the Scorpion labels were used up on basic range Miniatures after the premature discontinuation of the Scorpions range. That would have been in late 1972 or 1973.

Therefore this model would surely fit in an I type box better than a G type box.

Hi Christian

Thanks just my thought but was not to sure. I looked some days ago on your page and you have it displayed in a G box. But thanks I will now look for one :P
