When constructed in 1960, SS France was the longest ever passenger vessel, and remained so until overtaken by RMS Queen Mary 2 in 2004.
The model has a black hull and white decks and superstructure with red-brown hatches. The two funnels are red with black tops.
This example is very near mint, just a paint rub on the corner of the bridge. The plastic mast and derricks are still in their bag, and the model is wrapped in its original tissue. The box has some graffiti on the ends, including a price of 8/6 (eight shillings and sixpence, and a little age wear and staining.
