C15 StromBecker SS Nautilus Submarine SS-168 / V6
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair-
Excellent kit that is most likely from WWII (1940s). Full hull model measures 11.5 inches long when assembled. StromBecker was famous for this line of highly prefabricated precarved hardwood kits. At a time when most scale model boxes included nothing other than a few blocks of balsa wood and a set of plans, Strombecker was producing these beautiful kits of fully carved, western pine hardword. The carving is done to the final shape for all parts. When complete it makes an impressive desk top display. Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: the hardwood island is missing, but I have included a correct size balsa block for it. It can be easily made since the instructions show a full size multi-view drawing. Includes all other parts, CASCO glue envelope (still sealed) and plans with instructions. The box displays better than 'fair-' but it graded a such because all of the short end panels are missing.
