Ahoy
Here is another I will add to the Borodino. This is a 1958 Jo0hn Piper kit all metal of of the flower class corvett Snowberry I think the old Matchbox company copied this model to produce their version This is a truely a very expensive kit to cement it together there some screws and you have to use epoxie. I inherit this kit from my late FGather he bought it from the old Hubley company. It is a English made model and they were custom ordered. I think My Dad paid $200.00 for it back then. It was a lot of money when you concider gas was 18 cents a gallon you can buy 8 loafs of bread for a quarter an candy bar for a nickle 15lbs of hamburger for a $1.00 Rent was $15.00 a month you can buy a new car off the showroom floor less then $1500.00 you younger fellas out theere missed it those were the days and I remember every one of them. $200.00 was a lot of dough I was in the Navy when my dad got this I heard through the grapevine of my siblings that they almost got a divorce over this kit. My dad was like Ralph Kramden of the hoiney mooners he yelled alot and scare the hell out of my mother and she quite down. any way just ramblin here is my Snowberry. thank you fellas.
