Welcome to Old Model Kits
Pyro IJN Syokaku Aircraft Carrier - Shokaku - Table Top Navy, 1/1200, C387-50
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc++
$18
Very good, small-scale ship kit from the fmaous Table Top Navy series. These are fine kits for that time and can be built full hull or waterline. Can be built full hull or waterline and features propeller and shaft detail, separately molded island, deck details and more. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and instructions. Many of the Pyro kits came from Eagle (then Eaglewall) molds in England. Eaglewall went out of business around 1962 and Pyro acquired at least some of the molds. Pyro reissued some of these kits in the mid 1960s with AJ Rudisill artwork. Evidently the line was successful, as Pyro then cut some of their own molds and expanded the series significantly. The earlier issues have the full color artwork and a three digit part number. Later issues have a 'B' or 'C' in front of the three digit kit number; some have simplified box art that is a modification of the original Rudisill paintings by painting out most of the background. Pyro issued these kits into the late 1960 when Life-Like took over the molds. Some were reissued by Life-Like.
