Ideal Aeroplane & Supply Revenue Cutter - 12 Inch Long Wooden Model With Moulded Hull
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$58
Rare ship model from 1930s that contains Ideal's revolutionary 'Premolded Hull.' Since carving the hull was by far the most difficult part of early ship modeling, Ideal created a thick-walled, completely formed, hollow hull made from a wood composite. Never started. Inside, the kit is exactly as it left the factory which means that all the parts are still 'factory tissue sealed.' As was the custom back then, workers would assembly the parts for a kit and wrap them in tissue paper in a unique way that ensured that all the parts would be 'sealed' and held in place. Whoever buys this kit will see the contents for the first time since it was packed at Ideal Aeroplane & Supply in New York well over 90 years ago. Ideal Aeroplane & Supply was one of the earliest aircraft model makers in the USA, marketing their first kit in 1911 and running a well-known storefront that sold materials as well as kits for early aeromodelers. What is less known is that they had a very large line of ship kits also. They ranged from one foot to several feet long and covered unique and popular civil subjects as well as warships and submarines of the period. The company was very innovative in introducing the Moulded Hull which cut assembly time by more than half by eliminating all hull carving, shaping and sanding. The builder could use it right out-of-the-box and immediately add the deck, superstructure, fittings and prime or paint. Ideal was also known for their excellent, full size multi-view plans that includes many assembly notes, rigging diagrams, tips, additional detail drawings and much more. Often there was even a detailed painting guide.

The Project 58 Missile cruisers, known to NATO as the Kynda class were the first Soviet missile cruisers and a considerable advance for the Soviet Navy. Their main role was anti-surface warfare using the SS-N-3b 'Shaddock' missile. The design proved top-heavy and was soon succeeded by the larger Kresta I, but the Kyndas stayed in service until the fall of the Soviet Union.

Delphis Models De Cristofaro Class Corvette / Pietro De Cristofaro F540 / Umberto Grosso F541 / Licio Visintini F546 / Salvatore Todaro F550 - Circa 1970, 1/700, DM674
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$46
This waterline model is cast in high-definition resin and has higher quality detail than injection molded kits in the same scale. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions. The De Cristofaro class were beaituful and successful ships. They were given a forecastle, which had never been done in a post-war Italian Corvette. They also had a transom stern, which was a departure from previous practice. As in the somewhat later Alpinos, they had a VDS, in their case a separate SQS-36 handled by a crane mounted on deck. There was also a medium-frequency hull sonar, reportedly a separate SQS-36. The 76mm gun was the successful OTO-Melara type, controlled by an OG 3 director (Orion RTN-7X radar), with an optical director (probably OG 1) aft. The single-barrel Menon mortar was mounted aft, in 'X' position. The power plant was two FAIT 3012 diesel engines and top speed was 23 knots. Cruising range was a very respectable 6,139 miles at 15.9 knots.

Combrig Jeanne D Arc Cruiser 1902 Configuration, 1/700, 70423
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$54
Very highly detailed and well molded high-definition cast resin waterline model that includes many brass PE details. Never started. The parts are all still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes illustrated instructions. The cruiser Jeanne d’Arc was the largest French cruiser in 1899, first oceangoing armoured cruiser and prototype for all following French armoured cruisers until 1907. Designed initially in 1892 as protected cruiser for overseas service, this was changed later and the design was modified by Engineer Emile Bertin as an armoured cruiser. Very different from previous armoured cruisers by this last minute change, she emphasised speed and range over protection, and was even considered woefully under-armed for her size. She did, however, have a long service career. But since she was not ideal for the fleet, she did however prove roomy and adaptable enough to be transformed as a dedicated training vessel after WWI and until 1928, starting a long lineage and tradition in the Marine Nationale. She was striken from the navy list in 1933.
