1/24 P17-249 Monogram Water Devil Runabout Power Boat
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Very rare first issue Motorized kit from 1956. This is Monogram's 17th plastic kit and a wonderful effort by Monogram. The problem was that with the $2.49 price tag, this model was more than double (and even quadruple) the price of other kits in that era; subsequently, it did not sell well and was discontinued. The boat is nicely molded and detailed. It can be built for static display, rubber powered or electric motor powered. Features one piece hull, good interior detail, complete chrome plated deck fittings, skipper and girl figures, rubber drive hardware with original rubber band & winder, all motorizing hardware and more. Because this model is 12" long and 4" wide, it could easily be made remote control with today's small RC systems. Please be aware the Monogram did not include the electric motor with this kit. Molded in the correct white, dark gloss orange, blue and chrome plastic. The chrome is in 'excellent++' condition. The large decal sheet includes wood grain panels for the deck and other markings as well. Never started. Inventoried and includes all pieces, decals and instructions. However, NOTE: the skipper's arm is broken off at the elbow and that small piece is missing. The decals are flat and 100% intact but have typical light age discoloration to the backing paper. The box has extensive age foxing as shown (hence the 'good-' grade) but is otherwise solid and intact.
