Hello, 

 

I inherited these from a woodworking relative in Washington State. They just sat on his shelf for nostalgia more than anything. I am not a builder and would like to lessen my load of sentimental items. 

 

The hydroplane kit looks complete but the sailboat is missing some pieces and has some added. 

 

Can anyone share an estimate of their value?

No clue. At their age, they have little value as actual projects -- kit design has advanced far beyond what these kits can offer. They may have some collector value. One suggestion is to browse listings at eBay for similar items and see what they have been going for.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
