Description | First and only printing was in 1955 at 3/-d. No reprint was ever catalogued. Limited stocks passed down to the Watford Model Supply Co. in 1971. It was intended that there would be a three model Maori set, with marketing timed to coincide with the interest generated by a Royal visit to New Zealand. A single sheet leaflet, slightly less than A4 size, was produced by Micromodels. It illustrated amongst other items, the Maori set as it would have looked when assembled. At the site there was built a new Wharenui (Meeting House) and a Waka Taua (War Canoe) for the occasion. Autocraft, MicromodelsUSA and Micromodels London have published the Maori War Canoe. |
