Description

Jaws Addar Super Scenes Model Kit with Original Instruction Sheet Sketch (Addar, 1975). Released in 1975 under Addar's Super Scenes line, this "Scene in a Bottle" hobby kit recreates one of the film's most recognizable moments, with a great white shark circling a caged diver inside a clear display bottle. Accompanying the kit is an original graphite production sketch measuring approximately 17" x 11", depicting an exploded view of the shark, diver, and cage components with handwritten assembly notes and dated "8-8-75," corresponding directly to the layout used for the printed instruction sheet included with the final product. The model kit box shows mild scuffing to the corners and mild crushing to the surfaces, with the contents remaining sealed in the original factory cellophane. Overall presentation remains near mint with minimal wear. The sketch shows light age toning and minimal handling wear. A compelling pairing of finished retail product and its underlying design work, this lot captures the translation from concept to instruction, offering both the kit as sold to consumers and the working drawing used to guide its assembly, an instruction sheet that invites you to paint the eyes lifeless and black, like doll eyes.
