1/261 H365-198 Revell George Washington SSBN-598 Nuclear Powered Polaris Missile Submarine 'S' Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Rare, first issue dated 1958 with "S" cement logos on the box sides. This is the cut-away Polaris sub with interior that got Revell in hot water with the US Government - the Navy had thought that Revell had breeched security to obtain the details for the model. This one is in exceptional condition with amazing 'mint' color and gloss, for solid corners with no repairs, no price tags or tag marks, no tape or tape marks other than the factory tape marks and no fading. The only flaws are some scuffs (shown at the far right) and a small dent (shown at the upper left). The model was highly detailed for that time will full interior and snap-off starboard hull half and two Polaris missiles that 'fire' using spring power. The kit has never been started. Molded in the correct gloss medium gray, light green and black plastic. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions as well as the special booklet 'The Story of Submarines.'
