1/180 X882-1800 Airfix Great Western Ocean Liner
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Large scale Airfix Japan issue. The Great Western was the first ship specifically built for the Atlantic Ferry Service and was designed by I.K. Brunel (who designed the Great Eastern). When launched in 1837, she carried 120 first class, 20 second class, and beds could be set up for an additional 100 if needed. The crew was 60 men. The first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean was in April of 1838 and took just over 15 days. After crossing the Atlantic 64 times, she ran for 10 years between Southampton and the West Indies before being broken up in 1857. Never started and the parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes preformed ratlines, rigging materials, color flag sheet, 'near mint' billowing vac sails and instructions.
