317 Ideal Aeroplane & Supply Fishing Trawler - 18 Inch Long Wooden Ship
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Poor
Very rare. NOTE: builder kit only. Normally I don't buy kits in this condition, but Ideal made the only model ever available of this ship and this is the largest scale. Dated 1950 and measures 18 inches long when built. Wooden kit with pre-shaped hull and printwood parts, as well as highly detailed three-view plans with hull cross sections, numerous superb detail drawings, very good instructions with additional building illustrations, full rigging diagram and sail details. Certainly one of Ideal's better kits. NOTE: this kit has minor, neat assembly. The three main decks, stem and keel have been glued to the hull, and the hull has been fully sanded and shaped. Quality of all work is 'excellent+.' Please NOTE that you receive the following parts with this kit: hull with assembly as noted, two sheets of never cut printwood, one partial sheet of printwood, never used cardstock sheet of printed walls and rails, large color flag sheet and excellent plans. All wood parts are present except for the rudder and support, foremast base and supports and funnel base. These parts are shown full size on the instructions so they are easy to make. Please note that is all that is included. There is no generic wood stock, wood dowels, or fittings, but these are easily found on line.
