1/350 OldModelKits SS Normandie Ocean Liner 1935
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
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.
