ITC CV-65 USS Enterprise - Motorized and with Cam-A-Matic Action, 1/390, 3658-2-1198
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Rare action kit from the early 1960s. The ship sails in the water with an electric motor driving all four propellers. You can program the steering via the Cam-A-Matic drive to steer any number of patterns. While underway, the aircraft elevators move up and down and the ship launches aircraft. Inside, the kit has never been started and is like new. The original display cardboard is present and all parts and decals are still sealed in the factory bags. Instructions are included and as in new condition. The kit is advertised 'For the Advanced Hobbyist' on the box top and I would agree. There are a great many parts and no shortage of moving features and complications. ITC did not shy away from making advanced kit like this and the diving Halibut submarine (dives, surfaces, steers patterns and launches a Regulus II missile) but many kits were returned by frustrated parents and children who did not have the experience to build more complicated models. However, when built properly, they worked and they worked well.

I have rated it so low because someone cut a 4 x 2 inch section out of one short box top side.

First issue. The hardbox is dated 1959 and has the "Famous Fighters" in the oval 'Northern Lights' logo. This is the only kit made of the infamous German WWII converted merchant raider which was the subject of several books and a major movie called 'Under Ten Flags'. The long WWII voyage was legendary, and the ship is well represented in this full hull model. Covers can be removed to reveal hidden guns, torpedo tubes and the Ar-196 floatplane. The kit has never been painted but has minor assembly - the AR-196 floats have been glued to the floatplane. Quality of assembly is excellent with proper alignment and no excesses glue. There is no other assembly. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts decals and instructions. NOTE: three small deck fittings were taken from a unpainted built up 'Atlantis' to make this kit complete. The three parts came off very easily and are in excellent condition - the glue was so old that the locater pins are still intact. Shipping insurance is required.
