Identifying a plastic model of about a 50' sloop named Wanderlust


Recommended Posts

Folks,

 I've refurbished a few plastic models of famous schooners for a friend and I'm left with the boat described in the title.  The father of my friend built all of these models in the 60s or the 70s and they were scrambled during a hurricane some years ago.  I'm trying to collect information to help an accurate refurbishment of this particular boat and have not found anything on the internet.  The name 'Wanderlust' appears on the transom but the picture is not very clear.  If anyone has any information on the boat or the plastic model, I would be very appreciative.

 

Thanks very much,

 

Doug McKenzie

Chris,

 

It's possible that I was a little too quick - the $14 didn't actually buy me a kit, rather an original page out of Model Airways News magazine from 1956 advertising the availability of the kit.  Fortunately, the drawing of the boat in the ad showed detail not visible on the box cover painting so it had actual value.  Mean while refurbishment proceeds and it's more challenging than I expected.
