Airfix 1/600 RMS Queen Elizabeth Ocean Liner Craftmaster Issue, S1-198 plastic model kit

1/600 S1-198 Airfix RMS Queen Elizabeth Ocean Liner Craftmaster Issue

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc

1960s issue with fantastic Craftmaster artwork of the famous Queen entering NY Harbor. Very highly detailed and well molded for that time. Full hull model with complete rudder and propeller detail, full deck fittings, detailed superstructure, independently molded davits & lifeboats and more. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The famous Queen Elizabeth was the largest liner in the world when launched in 1938. She saw extensive service during WWII as a troop transport. After the war, she and the original Queen Mary formed the backbone of Cunard Atlantic Service in unparalleled luxury. Some customers favored the Queen Elizabeth for her modern lines and more modern interior fittings. She was supposed to be on display in the USA on the opposite shore of the Queen Mary, but buyers never materialized. While serving as a 'College Ship' she burned in Hong Kong Harbor where she was scrapped, but only after appearing in a James Bomb Film as a MI-6 hide-out.
