AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare tinplate torpedo boat P 5701 (Marusan, Japan) – 1950s – in near mint condition with box

This example is in near mint condition and is 100% original. The ship is richly detailed with beautiful lithography, mounted red torpedoes, gun turrets, and the distinctive radar mast.

The internal friction motor still functions excellently.

Includes the original box with the wonderfully nostalgic artwork. The box shows light signs of aging at the edges and one side is of somewhat poorer quality (see photo), but the box is structurally fully intact and has bright colors.

Length: 31 cm
