1/108 H314-129 Revell Harbor Tug Long Beach - S Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Rare 1956 issue of this famous kit with the great box artwork that has made these kits so famous and collectible. This large-scale model features excellent detail for that time and almost all items shown in the box art - railings, grates, name boards, navigation lights, vents, whistles, bumpers, bitts and even two crew members. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. NOTE: one railing is broke but the parts are there and fit back perfectly for a straight-forward repair. You can quickly tell the 1955 first version from this 1956 second version by the way 'Harbor Tug' is presented. On the 1955 version it is in black font. For 1956 it is in much more attractive red font with a black shadow outline. The Long Beach was built in Decatur, Alabama in 1943 and was one of a fleet of tugs operated by the Wilmington Transportation Company. She had a registered length of 81.1 feet and a beam of 24 feet. Gross tonnage was 146 inches and she drew 8 feet of water. Powered by a 700 hp diesel, the range was just over 3,500 miles.
