Dear Buyer,
Thank you for your interest.     

An unassembled vintage (1979) model kit which is very rare being one of the few civilian model ships produced by Nichimo.   This is the motorised version.

Contents are in mint condition, complete and on sprues/ trees in original factory sealed bags.  Molded in multicolor with an orange hull.   Decals and RE 260 motor included.   Instructions are in Japanese.  

Box shows many minor signs of aging and damage but in fair condition overall considering its age.  
Photos of the actual ship is for your reference.

Please check out my other listings.   

The Fuji was the second Japanese Icebreaker used for Scientific Exploration and Research in the South Pole from 1965 to 1983 (the first being the Soya and third and forth being Shirase (versions 1 and 2).   It is now an Antarctic Maritime Museum permanently moored in the garden wharf of Nagoya, Japan and is open to public for an entrance fee.  You can see the Sikorsky Helicopter carried on the ship's stern and all 3 of its decks are opened for exploration where you'll see the engine room, mess hall, cramped bunks, research facilities, the bridge, and vehicles used for Antartic land transport, amongst other displays.  (Actual photos are for reference only)

Notes:

Due to CV-19, postal services may be restricted and airmail may not be available to some countries.  If airmail is not available, I'll send by seamail which may take months to reach destination.    

As of August 2022, airmail services are available to USA, (most of) Europe, Australia / NZ, and (most of) Asia; however, the situation may change at short notice.    Hence, it is best if you can write to me to check before purchasing. 

1. Please ask all questions BEFORE purchasing. Please review photos closely. From smoke free / Pet free home. For sealed items: I cannot guarantee the condition of sealed items as I am unable to open it for direct checking or else it looses it's value as a sealed item. So, it is sold as is.

2. All sales are final and returns are not accepted (unless what you received is not what was listed).

3. Buyer pays for customs/ import taxes / tariffs / duty fees of their own country. Please check with your country's customs office to find out what these extra costs are before buying. These charges are usually collected by the delivering freight or shipping company or when you pick the item up so please do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. Delays in delivery may be customs or postal service related which cannot be controlled.

4. I will ship within 2-3 working days upon receipt of full payment only via PAYPAL. 

5. Write to me if you have any concerns and we'll try to work something out. After buying, please give me your positive feedback. Thank you!
