Tom, you would have a better chance of selling this kit if you did the following:
List the manufacture
List the finished size of the model
post pictures
Lastly, list where you or the kit is located aka: your geographical location.

mtdoramike got a reaction from BobG in I have my summer and fall mapped out with orphaned kits
I'm finishing up work on the Yoda's Ark, then I will begin finishing up the Midwest tug boat orphan that needs a little love.
A friend offered me a Dumas Chris Craft Cobra kit, which is one that I have been itching to build. I was honored by one of my forum buddies with a Billings Calypso kit that I have been wanting for a while now. While in St. Thomas USVI I saw the Calypso once, but it was not close enough for me to really get a close look at her. But boy what I did see made a 16 year old boy dream fantastic dreams of sailing the high seas on her. The siren of the sea indeed cast a spell on me and I day dreamed of adventure and discovery that summer.

mtdoramike got a reaction from BobG in Midwest " The Trawler" is the latest orphan that I have adopted.
I thought the saying was appropriate for a fishing vessel. I can picture one fish hanging from a hook, saying to the other fish, "How's it hangin brother?". A friend quickly pointed out to me that this is a trawler, which uses nets rather than line and hook. But I'm quick to point out anyting goes in cartoons.

I was able to remove the false deck to gain access to the interior of the hull and sealed it. I also glassed the hull and installed the drive shaft tube or stuffing box.

In some cases of orphaned kits that I have adopted that would be the case, but not all of them. I'm always honored to finish models for those who couldn't physically finish them for health reasons or the previous builder was deceased and strive to see that the model is finished with the highest quality that I can provide. You would be surprised at how many opportunities that I'm offered to complete models for folks who for what ever reason decided they no longer had an interest in completing them. My brother was one of them. Unfortunately I have to turn down most of them due to time constraints and it not being a subject I'm particularly interested in. I'm trying to slow down, but some project will tickle my fancy.

Unfortunately for the Trawler, the builder lost interest in her once the hull was built. So I adopted her to maqke her all that she can be. I really hate to see a model half finished due to lack of interest when with just a little bit of iniative on the builders part the model could be finished.

I up scaled the lettering a bit to make it a little more cartoonish.

I think my first step is going to be performing a bit of surgery to remove the deck, which was skillfully applied and would have been acceptable if it were going to be a static display piece. But if it's going to be R/C, the interior of the hull has to be sealed with resin.

OK, I finished up on my last build, which was the Yoda's Ark. Now it is time to give the next orphan a little attention nand a lot of love and see if I can bring out her special personality and let her shine. So it's the Midwest Tugs turn to get beautified.

The plans say 1984, which is probably about right.
