Also includes 12 bottles of Floquil paints in gold, blue, red, tar lumber, black and 2 bottles are some kind of tinting oil. The pigment is collected at the bottom but I stirred and shook a bottle of the gold and it looks fine to me. There was a model expo receipt in the kit when I bought it with a date of 8/28/94 and the castings are really nice and detailed compared to some examples I have seen on some build logs of the newer kits. All the wood billets are nice and flat including the keel parts and they are all there according to the plans…. I’m asking $600 and split the actual shipping costs - it’s pretty heavy so I figure around 50 or 60 dollars to ship it…. Here’s a bunch of pics….IMG_0038.jpeg

Wow! Looks like a great kit, but I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle a project like that yet. Maybe someday...
 
Floquil Paints ! This Canadian Company went out of business several years ago. Their paints and stains are of the best quality..They had a Marine line, and a Railroad line. Really good stuff....
And based on the 50+ year old bottle of Engine Black I have, it will still all be usable. Such a shame they stopped making this ultimate modeling paint.
