recoeved this the other day


A 1951 Revell U.S.S. Missouri model kit
Bit of a story behind it but, my dad built the same kit when he was a boy and kept it to this very day, i have it in my room. But over the year the gun turrets and barrels have broken off the flags were lost and the stand it sat on became lost as well. When i got the kit me and my dad were going to restore it by building all the barrels and turrets again but it just never happened.
So a while ago i looked up on ebay US model boats and after about 1 hour off looking at all the listings found the boats name, then found the same kit he built form the 50's and bought it for him as a suprise.
The look on his face was great as its the same kit in everyway just perfects and unbroken form 1951. Only thing was that after 50+ years the glue and paint had dried up but that doesnt matter
