Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
1961 Sea Power and Master Modelers Club issue that is in exceptional condition. Even includes the USS Long Beach Master Modelers Stamp and the two trading cards (B-47 and KC-135). The actual model is from the same molds as the classic 1950s "S" kit. It is well detailed and features Regulus II Cruise Missile with hanger bay and launcher, nuclear reactor assembly with removable cover, helicopter, Terrier and Talos missiles and launchers, detailed superstructure & bridge, full hull with propeller and rudder detail, missile trackers, full antennas for the sensor suite, ships boats, life rafts, helicopter, accommodation ladders and more. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals, flag sheet and instructions. Please NOTE that the box displays better than the 'very good+' grade. That is because small hole at the far lower right corner of the left short side and the two long sides have very old dry tape residue. The tape has long since fell off. CGN-9 U.S.S. LONG BEACH was the world's first nuclear-powered warship. She was launched in July of 1959 as the lead ship of the first new cruiser class since WWII. Originally designed as an all-missile cruiser, she was later fitted with two 5"/36 caliber guns amidships. After serving more than 33 years, she was decommissioned on 1 May 1995.
