Airfix SS Canberra Ocean Liner - Type 3 Logo Issue, 1/600, F501S
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$85
Rare 1960s release with fantastic artwork. This model is well molded and detailed like most Airfix ships. It features full hull, propellers & rudder, detailed recessed boat deck, individual life boats, swimming pools and more. Includes full decals. The kit has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. NOTE: this kit has some very neatly, adult-quality sub-assembly as follows: funnel 1/2s built, lifeboats to boat deck. There is no other assembly. Very little glue was used; so little that I used a wire to poke out two of the lifeboats from the back of the deck; both of them came out with very little effort. Four decks, the inside of the lifeboats and the propellers have been painted; there is no other painting. The large 45,270 ton Canberra was a famous post-WWII P&O ship from the final glory days of ocean liner travel. She was very innovative and it is said that never were so many new concepts pressed into service on one ship. She could carry a total of 3,199 passenger and crew and turn 27.4 knots with her powerful turbo-electric drive. Pressed into service as a troop transport during the Falklands war and nicknamed the 'Great White Whale', she could have been a prime target of the Argentine Air Forces but escaped damage.
