Goldberg was a highly accomplished modeler with articles in Model Airplane News and famous designs that won him several National level competitions in the 1930s and beyond. (Carl Goldberg went on to found his own company and produced well designed and popular free-flight and RC aircraft). Comet survived the post World War economic slump and continued kit production until they were bought out by long-time competitor Guillow's in 1998.
Atlantis Chesapeake Bay Skipjack Oyster Boat Carrie Price - (ex Pyro), 1/60, P1160
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc
Sold
Still factory sealed. Modern reissue from the original Pyro very early 1960s model. This was an excellent kit for that time and features full hull, optional position keel, optional position cabin and deck hatch (if you wish to super-detail the insides), full deck fittings, two detailed small boats, railings and life rings, furled sails (as shown on box art) and more. The skipjack 'Carrie Price' is an exact replica of a typical small sailing vessel used along the Chesapeake Bay area to dredge for oysters. The center keel stabilizer could be pulled up for working in very shallow water. Until 1942 sail was the only power permitted for oyster dredging; after 1942 the state passed a law allowing power boats to be used. This lead to almost all the skipjacks being converted to power and having the main mast cut down. Although it's days are past, many yachtsmen restore and sail this beautiful small craft today. Pyro is long gone from the plastic kit market but is famous today for the esoteric collection of kits they produced. Pyro cared little about subject matter popularity but designed kits based on historical significance or local interest. The quality of their kits is generally high. Please the read the articles about Pyro Kit History and Pyro's founder, who was a pioneer in modern injection molding. Both are located on this website.
