$850
Oldmodelkits.com had received exclusive world-wide license from French Lines/CGT to produce and sell the SS Normandie in 1/350 scale. This nine-year project is a 100% new kit. Seven of those years were spent accurately modeling the ship from scratch in TurboCAD. All design work was done in CAD by Ken Friend, a master modeler and engineer who specialized in CAD/CAM/CAE Systems Management and Implementation. This limited-run kit represents the Normandie from her 1935 maiden voyage to New York and has over 1,000 individual parts. The hull and larger parts are pressure-cast resin from de-aired molds. There is one very large photoetched brass sheet for railings, ladders & fine details, ultra-high definition 3D printed davits, three sheets of real wood decking which is laser printed (and colorfast, unlike ink which can run when it gets wet), decals, flag sheet and a DVD with detailed, highly illustrated instructions including painting guide, step-by-step rigging instructions and research material. Please note, this is a previously owned kit. It was sold to a customer years ago; he did not build it and sold it back to me. NOTE: this kit must be shipped insured.

This kit was likely sold on the ship in one of the deluxe stores, as it appears to have been made as a promotional kit for the Ferry Line - see the "Blue Highway Line" logo at the lower right and the long box sides have full color photos of the very luxurious accommodations on board, shopping and also a route map. I have seen the Sunflower Ferry ships in two scale - 1/500 and 1/700 (this kit). They have appeared in motorized and non-motorized versions. There is one ship with two funnels (this one) and a single funnel Ferry of roughly the same size and tonnage. This is a very well detailed and molded model that features a one-piece hull, all hardware for motorizing, propeller shaft stuffing box, adjustable rudder, scale propellers and rudders for display, detailed superstructure and deck fittings, optional position rear automobile ramp, removable main superstructure to gain access to a battery holder and the motor, display base, name plate and more. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. Please note that the standard FA-130 motor was not furnished with this kit and had to be purchased separately. This kit is likely from the original Nakamra Sangyo molds but I cannot be certain. It is worth noting that the famous Sunflower Ferry still operates today; the new ships are even more luxurious and better appointed. It is a very relaxing way to travel from one island to another.

In December 1962, in fog off San Diego, Oriana collided with CV-33 USS Kearsarge, causing considerable damage to both vessels. A claims court found Oriana's captain had been steaming too fast for conditions. Afterwards, the CV was good-naturedly nicknamed "The Mighty Kay-runch."

1960s 3rd style logo issue of this famous kit. The Great Western was the first ship specifically built for the Atlantic Ferry Service and was designed by I.K. Brunel (who designed the Great Eastern). When launched in 1837, she carried 120 first class, 20 second class, and beds could be set up for an additional 100 if needed. The crew was 60 men. The first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean was in April of 1838 and took just over 15 days. After crossing the Atlantic 64 times, she ran for 10 years between Southampton and the West Indies before being broken up in 1857. The kit is the large scale Airfix Japan issue; it is well detailed and features full hull, complete deck fittings, ships boats, preformed rat lines (realistic and scale Revell type), detailed paddle wheels, billowing sails, color flag sheet and much more.

Like all of the 1/600 scale Airfix Ocean Liners, this one is well detailed and cleanly molded. Features full hull, propeller and rudder, all fittings and excellent superstructure details. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The famous Queen Elizabeth was the largest liner in the world when launched in 1938. She saw extensive service during WWII as a troop transport. After the war, she and the original Queen Mary formed the backbone of Cunard Atlantic Service in unparalleled luxury. Some customers favored the Queen Elizabeth for her modern lines and more modern interior fittings. Here service life was suppose to end as a static display on the opposite US shore as the Queen Mary, but buyers never materialized. While serving as a 'College Ship' she burned in Hong Kong Harbor where she was scrapped, but only after appearing in a James Bond film as a MI-6 hide-out.
