Interesting find Codmander. I've never seen one offered by Franklin Mint before. If you can get a picture of it, that would be great.

Franklin Mint, lets see. I have over 30 of the cars. 15 of the aircraft by Armour(owned by Franlin Mint). I have seen an American sub but it is pricey. Something like $350.00. I think the aircraft carrier is $450.00. You can get with monthy payments.

Who would pay such a price for die-cast model ships and subs.much cheaper to build your own.

scalelokt · 02-05-07, 01:56 PM

Thats what I thought at first, its definitly pricey. But then I noticed that its signed by the captain, so I'm sure that is most of the price right there.

No time, kids, work......I sure do miss making a model or two. So I go get one every now and then.

hi again i had to go there today and see but to my surprise I saw no uboat ask the sales man where it went and he didnt seem to know had a model there of a VIIC/41 ((PIC)) but that was it bunch of aircraft carriers,battleships and planes but that u boat was gone

GT182 · 02-05-07, 04:32 PM

I saw the Uboat by Revell last year for 69.00 in a hobby shop but didn't get that day. Went back 2 days later and it was gone.
