Scientific SS571 USS Nautilus Atomic Submarine Operating Model
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
NOTE: builder kit only. Please read carefully. A great operating model from the mid/late 1950s. The model actually cruises under it's own power, dives, runs submerged and surfaces again. Features a pre-carved hull, all hardware and metal parts as needed as well as full size plans and decals. NOTE: this kit has significant assembly. At one point, the lower hull was glued to the carved hull; it has since fallen off. The carved hull is still 'excellent' but the two parts that fell off are complete but in bad condition. I would suggest making new ones since they balsa and you have a perfect pattern with the original parts. The hull rubber band retainer has been neatly installed. There is no other assembly and zero painting. NOTE: missing the 'sail' and (4) antenna/periscopes & platform for same. Easily made from block and strip balsa. The patterns for the antenna/platform exist because the original die-cut sheet is present. Decals are present and in 'very good++' condition as well as the instructions. This kit comes with excellent, highly illustrated building and sailing directions including full size plans.
