A couple of years ago I purchased the "GUIDED MISSILE FLEET, Navy Log Revell Kit at a garage sale. Included are the U.S.S. Norton Sound and The U.S.S. Boston. The U.S.S. Nautilus is missing. There are two full sealed bags; one with the Norton Sound decal.
The box is in very good condition with a corner broken off the side panel. It still remains although it is lifted. Anyone have the instructions for these models. I am interested to see if I have all the parts are there especially for the Norton and also a value on this set?
Anyone have any thoughts they would like to share?
The fleet set is valued at $500-600 in pristine un built condition. The NORTON SOUND(complete with box) by itself is valued at $80. Since your set is incomplete the dollar value is less than the price guide. Plus in today’s economy it would probably not command top dollar. However on the flip side of the coin if you come across a collector with deep pockets your set (as is) might bring a good sum. Check on Evilbay, people bid on the craziest things[clwn].
The Norton Sound with the photoetch is a conversion from the Revell Pine Island. A little scratch building and photo etch from the “spares” box can improve the looks of a 1950’s era kit. I used the original kit to make templates for the conversion model.
