The model features Seaslug and Seacat systems, full hull, propeller and rudder detail, very good superstructure and much more. Never started. Factory sealed bag with decals and instructions.

Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions. Other kits in this series include the 1912 Ford T, 1905 Rolls Royce and 1930 Bentley
