Bluejacket Challenge C-2 Cargo Ship - 29 Inch Long Wood And Metal Ship Model, 1/192
Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Sold
Rare and out of production. Museum quality craftsman kit features hardwood, kiln-dried, precarved hull, extensive high quality cast Britannia and brass fittings and other hardwood and metal parts as required. Includes very detailed full size plans and instructions. The kit has never been started. Inside, all of the fittings are still sealed in the factory clear bags. The other parts were never factory sealed and have been inventoried complete. Includes all paperwork. Type C2 ships were designed by the United States Maritime Commission (MARCOM) in 1937-38. They were all-purpose cargo ships with five holds, and U.S. shipyards built 328 of them from 1939 to 1945. Compared to ships built before 1939, the C2s were remarkable for their speed and fuel economy. Their design speed was 15.5 knots (28.7 km/h), but some could make 19 knots (35 km/h) on occasion. The first C2s were 459 feet (140 m) long, 63 feet (19 m) broad, and 40 feet (12 m) deep, with a 25-foot (8 m) draft. Later ships varied somewhat in size. Some, intended for specific trade routes, were built with significant modifications in length and capacity.
Revell Moon Ship - 'S' Issue - (XSL01), 1/96, H1825-79
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
Rare 1957 first and only issue. When sales of the dramatic XSL-01 Moon Rocket did not meet expectations, Revell molded the top stage in a different color plastic from the XSL-01, added a special 3D Moon Base Stand and boxed it as a stand-alone kit. The result was this Moon Ship with incredible box art. The box art invites you to 'Enter the Age of Space' with these action features: retractable landing ski, removable fuselage section with detailed cabin with controls and instrument panels and a crew of three astronauts. Molded in correct baby blue and clear plastic. This model has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. NOTE: the actual decal transfers are not damaged, but the backing paper has significant bug damage. NOTE: the box is graded 'good-' because the left short side, while intact does have impact damage. It is slightly bowed out, there is some litho lifting and about 1/4" of a closed split at the upper left side corner. There is some adjacent light damage to the upper long side at that same corner.

The entire gantry tower folds back and moves on railroad base, the elevator moves to the four different work platforms and the Explorer Satellite can be removed from the Jupiter rocket. Includes crew of 7. Inside, the kit has never been started. Parts are molded in red, medium gray and white. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts but NOTE: (2) part #67 supports are broke; the broken parts (one each) are present and fit back perfectly. One #64 ladder guard (a small "U" shaped part) is red when it should be white plastic. The decals are in amazing 'near mint' condition with slight yellowing as the only flaw. The instructions are also in 'near mint' condition.
