1/58 70896 Lindberg Tuna Clipper Ann - (Gulf Star) - (ex Pyro and Life-Like)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc+
Still factory sealed. From quality Pyro molds dating from the early 1960s. This kit is modeled from the two Tuna Clippers "Gulf Star" and "Sea Magic" of the Avondale Marine Ways Company of New Orleans. The model has a hull length of 13.5 inches. Pyro's original issues were designed for water operation (with the Boat PowerPack which sold separately). While this kit does not include any of this gear, it is very sturdy and would make a very nice small R/C model. Hard-working tuna boats and crews roamed the ocean year-around in a dangerous business. Many vanished without a trace. The Gulf Star was wrecked on a reef off Peru.
