1/58 374-298 Pyro Japanese Fishing Boat (Gulf Star Tuna Clipper)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Poor
1960s hardbox issue. Box is intact but heavily worn - the kit inside is mint. This is the reboxed Tuna Clipper (Gulf Star and sister ship Sea Magic) of the Avondale Marine Ways Company of New Orleans. These hard-working boats and crews roamed the ocean year-around in a dangerous business. Many vanished without a trace. The Gulf Star was wrecked on a reef off Peru. Model has a hull length of 13.5 inches. Very nicely detailed kit even includes rigging material and rigging instructions. Never started. Parts are still in factory sealed bags. Includes instructions in very good condition.
