United States Lines: An original Ideal Model Craft model of the S.S. UNITED STATES, built from the kit offered in the 1950s and 60s. Unlike most of these Ideal kits which were assembled by hamstrung, sticky-fingered rug rats, this one was built by a pro. All parts are correctly attached and even the long and skinny railing and vent decals, the bane of any pimple-faced assembler, are on the ship in neat rows. Needless to say, I didn’t built it. The model is... 29” long and rests on the original plastic stand with a molded-in name plaque. A great feature of these kits is that they light up and cast a glow at night. The scale works out to 1:400. Glencoe got a hold of the original molds and reintroduced the SSUS kit in the 1980s. Very good condition.
