I’ve subscribed to oldmodelkits website and do get regular emails of new vintage kits listed there. One kit caught my eye but not in a “gotta buy it” sense but a very unique item up for sale.

It is the Revell Documented Arizona Factory Display owned by Esther Ross, who christened the USS Arizona:

The description and history is a fascinating and interesting read. If the kit is purchased, the customer is required to have insurance for shipping and will be delivered by a special courier. Oh... the purchased price is $3800.

Well it sure qualifies as a unique issue of that kit with a serious bit of history behind that specific build. But I’d be curious to see who will buy it for that price.

Wow! Interesting bit of history.

I would guess a museum or some other group
