1/456 710 Aurora German Raider Atlantis - 'The Rattlesnake of the Ocean'
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Second and final issue with very rare box artwork. Dated 1963 and has the 'Famous Fighters' in the oval 'Northern Lights' logo on all four box sides. This issue has turned up much less than the original issue from 1959. This is the only model ever made of the famous (or 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 box has four solid corners, no repairs and vibrant color - there is wear as shown and one 2 inch closed tear on one long side. The model has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. NOTE: there are no decals. Shipping insurance is required.
