Hello all, I have a couple ship model kits that I want to trade or sell. I am mostly interested in getting some 1/350 stuff like American aircraft sets, American ships, figures, U Boats, or a Japanese destroyer or merchant ship. I have no real interest in the Titanic or 1/700 kits, so make an offer!
First off is a Minicraft Deluxe Titanic 1/350 scale. It is the 2002-2003 version with redesigned artwork and photoetch railings. I got it second hand, and someone glued the main deck parts to the hull, although they have subsequently come apart. The parts that were glued are D1, D2, I4, and I5. Check out this link for pictures of the instructions that show these parts:

I think most of the glue could be chipped off (looks like good old Testors tube glue), but where D1 and I4 attach and also on the edge of D1, there is glue residue that wrecked the raised deck lines. I am not really a ship modeler, but don't most people replicate the decking with paint or decals anyways? I will gladly send pictures of the parts as well, just so you know what you will be dealing with. Has the photo etch railings included, they are complete but two sections have come off the fret, and one is hanging on by one end. All there however. It looks like all of the other parts are still sealed in the bags. $30 + shipping
Next, I have a 1/700 Trumpeter USS Baltimore Heavy Cruiser CA-68 1943 #05724. Box has some tape residue, but all the parts are sealed and is complete. $15 + shipping
Last is a 1/700 Trumpeter USS Yorktown Carrier CV-10. Everything is sealed and new except for three SBD Dauntless models that I tried painting. They are still on the sprues, and will be included with the kit. No decals were used on them, just a little paint. $20 + shipping
Again, pictures are available on request. I want to sell or trade, so make me an offer on any or all of them.
