AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old naval model visible in the photo, representing a Von Roeder class destroyer. This is an unassembled plastic construction kit, offered in its original Eagle box. The box features a colorful illustration of a warship at sea, with the inscription "DESTROYER Von Roeder CLASS" and the scale mention "1 : 1,200". The inside of the box shows the various grey plastic molded parts, still attached to their original sprue, allowing one to observe the hull, turrets, superstructures, and various small elements characteristic of a military ship.

The instructions, integrated into the inner lid, display English text titled "A fight in narrow waters", relating a historical episode from World War II involving British and German destroyers. This detail adds a historical dimension to the model and confirms its period inspiration.

The original Eagle box is clearly visible, with the red logo and emblematic eagle. The main visual highlights the ship in action, emphasizing the graphic style typical of the 1950s-1960s, characteristic of vintage model kits from that period. The dominant colors are grey for the parts and a mix of blue, green, red, and beige for the box illustration.

The kit includes all visible unmounted parts as well as the instructions integrated into the lid. No prior assembly is visible in the image. The set shows a patina of age, with the box showing some signs of wear consistent with a period object, with no major chips or tears visible on the photographed portion.

This type of Eagle model is sought after for its authenticity and faithful illustration of historical models, with a presentation that highlights the retro style of mid-20th century naval models.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The original box and visible parts show signs of age (wear on the edges of the box, patina on the cardboard), but the whole remains in good visual condition for an unmounted vintage kit. Unassembled parts, instructions included.

Did you know? Eagle models were produced in the United Kingdom in the 1950s-1960s and are renowned for the quality of their box illustrations, true works of art reflecting the naval imagination of the time.
