This is a model from the First Series of Triang Minic ships which were made from 1958 to 1964. This is a SUNK lightship. Placed by Trinity House where there was hidden danger to shipping, notably in the Thames estuary. Four other lightships were made in the first series and were in small cellophane bags packed in boxes of a dozen. Very random mix in these boxes in our experience. and of course in the modern series 3 there were four made with helidecks. Good condition, approx 1 inch in length. our ref M204 -

P840 Type 42 Destroyer - Batch 1 - HMS Glasgow - Limited edition! D88This limited edition ship is in mint condition, but unboxed.
The querk is that on the underside it does say HMS Newcastle, when in fact it is Glasgow. The heli deck is wrong too but this is the way they were made.
I have very few of these for sale, and also the reciprocal ships with the wrong name on the underside, HMS Cardiff and HMS Newcastle. In the limited edition this was a production error but Triang were unable to re-release the ships with correct pennant and casting. These were supplied to me by Triang many years later in a tidy up of their warehouse. We are about out of stock of the 2014 carded Glasgows too .
Length 4.0 inches and 100mm
