Includes both kits. The Baloa class model allows the builder to create several different subs within the class; the reference used was the Bowfin SS287 and Pompanito SS383 which are both museum ships.

It is very highly detailed down to the drain holes and very fine decking. It includes resin detail parts and an extensive PE fret as well as full instructions. There are two hulls present for the Baloa, but one only set of resin and PE. The Gato kit can make one of two versions, the 1942 Wahoo or early cut down sail Bluefish 1942.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
Sold
Still near mint in the factory seal. Kikoler issue from Brazil. Includes rubber hose and metal chain, along with the men and Dalmatian dog. Marlin first cut the molds in 1952 and issued the six original American Firefighters (Chemical and Ladder, Steamer, Hook and Ladder, Water Tower, Aerial Ladder and Hose Reel) in 1952. Revell signed a marketing agreement with Marlin in 1953. Five of the kit were released with the Revell name and marketing name 'Collectors Kits, Closter N.J.' Revell added the horse parts as they were not originally part of the Marlin issues. The kits made excellent display pieces, but they never caught the imagination of young men like jet aircraft did. The five molds were shipped to Brazil; however Kikoler (Revell Brazil's Distributor) only issued three them. After the production run, they were shipped back to the USA but the molds were lost at sea.
