Ah.

Not only that, but my dad really looks forward to building it himself. A pre-built model really wouldn't have done the trick. Especially if shipping it oversea is impossible anyway.

Thanks for the heads-up, still!

There is a monster of a Calypso model from Billings Boats on eBay right now. The model is already built, though......but comes with a huge glass case. Just type in "Billings Calypso" in the search bar on eBay. It's the only one right now that's listed.

Good luck in your search,

Matt

p.s. .....whoops, nevermind. It's located in Australia and it's "local pick-up only".

Jean-Francois :

     I do believe the Billings kit is the one You want . If not , l there's always the Revell offering . I think it's a matter of the years represented . I hope this helps .T.B.

Thanks for the response!

Yes, I'd tried there before, but I'm not entirely sure that their B560 model is exactly the same as the BIL052560 my father wants. Perhaps I'll ask him to look at the listing personally.

Thanks.

"Phillipe takes ze Zodiac to look for the whales".

Good quality tv there.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Greetings,

I came looking for a rather difficult item. It's a present for my father. He's looking for the BIL052560 model of Jacques Cousteau's "Calypso", manufactured by Billing Boats.

Would anyone know where I might find one?

Thank you very much!
