You're bidding on a rare Sterling American Scout C-2 Type Cargo Ship, complete and unstarted. It also includes the optional fittings set. It builds into a really beautiful ship model over 50" long, with a 7" beam.It was designed for radio control operation, but also looks great as a static presentation. The kit contains: Internotched and self-aligning construction; completely carved balsa hull sections; shaped balsa life boats, smoke stack, and stern block; die cut balsa hull bulkheads,frame members, cabin decks, etc.; Entire main deck of die cut plywood; die cut mounts for engine and motor installation including poplar motor mount beams; Reed moulding; wire; authentic flags and decals; complete set of portholes and hawse lips; hardwood finished and tapered booms and kingpost vent caps; and brass ladders and anchor chain. The complete power hardware includes: Main drive and brass rudder, shafts and stuffing boxes; nylon propeller, nuts& bolts, etc. Large full size drawings and illustrated book of assembly instructions which shows and describes every phase of construction including power installations. Completely detailed radio control installation and rudder escapement instructions (escapement? - yes, this is an old kit!).I'm putting a low reserve of $200 on this one. Hopefully it will find a good home and actually get built. I've read more
