Ideal Aeroplane & Supply Ideal US Navy Submarine - 24 Inch Wooden Model
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Very rare, large-scale model of a 1938 US Navy Fleet submarine and probably the largest kit every made of this subject. This was originally a solid pre-carved hull kit; however, the war effort resulted in this being a wood-covered bulkhead and stringer hollow kit. Includes printed wood frames, factory-cut strip wood and wood planking strips, bow and stern blocks, a factory sealed wax paper bag of smaller parts, full size plans, two sealed envelopes of Casco Powdered Casein glue, sandpaper and two large sheets: one is the full size plans in excellent condition and the other is a large sheet explaining and illustrating the wartime hull construction. It also includes many patterns and templates to aid in carving the bow and stern blocks. The instructions have plans and text with detail drawings down the rigging details. The kit has never been started. The small parts are still factory sealed. The larger parts were never sealed and have been inventoried complete. Includes all paperwork.
