Itc ideal motorized uss halibut submarine kit

[Principe]

Does anyone have or know where I can purchase the 1960's vintage
ITC IDEAL MOTORIZED USS HALIBUT SUBMARINE?
For me it is the finished model that is most important. Not so much the box or building it myself.*
Maybe that makes it a little easier to locate.*

My father and I built and operated one when I was around 10. That adventure was my first step to becoming a mechanical engineer. A career I really enjoyed.*
The halibut model would be a cherished memory of my father and how he helped me find my life's purpose

Sorry I can't help with supplying one but I just wanted to say how much I agree with you.

I built one when I was 11. It was a very good model which I sailed in Coniston water in the Lake District.

Sadly the model disappeared during one of many housing "downsizes".

Good luck with your search!

I built one too, when I was about twelve or thirteen. They were really poor representations of the real ships, but they were a mechanical marvel, and set many boys on the road to modelling ships for a lifetime. I remember how cool it was to watch them with their Regulus missile, and following their cam programed routines. In the olden days, when RC was an impossible dream for most of the hobby world, they were the greatest. They were very expensive....about fifteen bucks, as I recall. That was a huge amount of money for a kid back then. If you ever find one, it's worth it's weight in golden memories. Good luck !
