1/768 C16 StromBecker USS California Battleship - 1930s Configuration
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Poor
Very rare, high quality prefabricated hardwood model from the 1930s. This model represent the famous "Prune Barge" with the early cage masts with simple platforms; not the modified 'Pearl Harbor' version with enclosed housings at the top of both cage masts. Features fully carved hull that is also pre-drilled for detail parts, superstructure, turrets, cage masts and much more. Even has the original powdered glue and wood filler envelopes. NOTE: this kit has very minor and 'professional' quality assembly to two pieces: the lower superstructure is glued to the hull. There is no other assembly but 8 of 9 gun barrels have been sanded to shape (to 'excellent' quality) and the main turrets have had the edges beveled as per the instructions to 'very good' quality. The kit has been inventoried and NOTE: missing two small and very thin die-cut wooden parts. These are easy to make as the die-cut sheet provides a perfect template. Includes instructions. Please note that the box is very heavily worn and missing most of the ends.
