Rare, early to mid 1950s issue with dramatic Ray Gaedke artwork. This box has the 1st Lindberg 'circle' logos on the short sides and the then 'new' rectangle logo in the other locations.

Includes a display stand with name plate. The kit has been inventoried complete with all parts present, decals, color flags, and correct first logo instructions. This kit has a fascinating history directly linked to the origins of USA plastic ship modeling. Originally produced by Varney in 1944, it was highly detailed, had a wooden hull, cardstock deck but all injection molded tenite deck parts and details. When the early Varney aircraft and ship kits did not sell well, Gorden Varney sold the molds for the kit to O-lin (Olsen and Lindberg). O-Lin reworked the kit using a vacuform hull, cardstock deck, metal railings and tenite parts. When Lindberg took full control of O-lin, he modified the molds for a third time so the kit has metal railings and all other parts are injection molded. The fourth issue had all plastic parts; Lindberg dispensed with the metal railings, replacing them with notched stanchions for more scale-looking thread rails. The fifth issue was motorized, including an electric motor, switch, hardware, drive propeller and provision for batteries. Over the years Lindberg has reissued this popular kit several more times; some were motorized and some where not.

This 2007 set includes both kits. The Merrimac measures just shy of 13 inches long and the Monitor measures 8.25 inches long. Never started. The two ships have been inventoried complete with all parts and instructions present but NOTE: the vacuform water 'battle display base' is missing. These are the two American Civil war ships that spelled the end of the wooden ship age. In March of 1862, the Merrimac put to sea to raise the Union Blockade off the James River. There she sank the Cumberland and Congress. The Monitor, the Union's only ironclad and the first turret ship, was rushed to the scene. The epic battle between the two iron-clad ships ended in a draw, with the Merrimac suffering a little more damage than the Monitor. The Merrimac was blown up to avoid capture; the Monitor sank in a gale in 1862.

A very good kit of the passenger liner which also served in the Falkland War and nicknamed 'The Great White Whale' by the troops she carrier. Well molded and detailed, like most Airfix ships. Features 86 pieces, full hull, accurate propellers & rudder, port and starboard inner lifeboat decks with separately molded lifeboats (with attached davits), five-deck layer stern, detailed superstructure and more.

The large 45,270 ton Canberra was a famous post-WWII P&O ship from the final glory days of ocean liner travel. She was very innovative and it is said that never were so many new concepts pressed into service on one ship. She could carry a total of 3,199 passenger and crew and turn 27.4 knots with her powerful turbo-electric drive. Pressed into service as a troop transport during the Falklands war and nicknamed the 'Great White Whale', she could have been a prime target of the Argentine Air Forces but escaped damage.
