B20M Sterling Caltex Lumba-Lumba With Optional Fittings Set B20F - 38 Inches Long For R/C Or Display
Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Rare and includes the even rarer with the optional cast metal fitting set. This very large scale model is 'completely pre-fabricated for easy construction' It features die-cut plywood and balsa parts, factory carved parts, plastic molded smoke stack, other plastic parts as well, sheeted hull construction, 'excellent' condition decals, superb full size drawings and plans and simple-to-follow, step by step instructions. Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing one piece of wood, a 25 inch x .25 inch filler strip. Otherwise all wood parts are present. NOTE: missing one long screw. Otherwise complete. Includes all paperwork. NOTE: the plans & instructions are professional quality reproductions made on a large scanner specifically made for large plans. I had the front made on one sheet and the back on another sheet, which makes building the kit much easier. Lumba-Lumba means 'porpoises' in Malay. This ship was commissioned by Caltex Pacific Oil Company in 1961 to speed personnel and freight from Sumatra to Singapore. She was designed by the famous naval architects Sparkman and Stephens who created the Columbia (winner of the New England yacht races). NOTE: this kit must be shipped insured.
