She is preserved today as a museum ship and one of the very few protected cruisers left in the world. In addition to her more famous role in the War with Spain, Olympia went on to active service in World War I, the Allied intervention in Russia, and as flagship in the Mediterranean, 1919. Please note that the box is only 'good' - it has moderate to significant edge wear, litho chips, a small stain at the top center (and on the adjacent long side). It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Includes a display stand and this is the issue with the larger decal sheet with gold bow detail, draft markings, rear stern name, flags, bow shield and big stand decal.

This kit features a full hull with rudder and propeller detail, deck fittings, main and secondary guns, light guns, lifeboats, ventilators and more. Rare early hardbox issue from the late 1950s showcases some of Pyro's best box artwork. This may indicate that this promotion went on for a significant amount of time. Here is one clue: some boxes claim that Modelandia had 13 locations other boxes, which obviously came later on, claim 19 locations.

It is not know for how long the promotion lasted, but Orange Crush was one of the most dominant soft drinks in Mexico at that time. We can assume that it may have been Lodela, since they would have had access to the Revell molds. We do not know how Orange Crush had access to the plastic kits or who sealed the internal bags with the Crush instructions inside them. Titan was also bottled by Robina and came in large (Titan) and smaller (Titancito) sizes and apparently more than one flavor. You could also obtain models with Titan bottle caps. The box side lists the other 18 kits with small color pictures of each and shows three sizes of OC - Family Size (Familiar), Grand (Grande) and Normal. was the bottler or distributor of Orange Crush in Mexico at that time. Modelandia's name appears on each of the boxes and the paint as well. A colorful cardboard box held 7 colors of paint in glass bottles, complete with 'Orange Crush' screw-on caps! The entire promotion was done in coordination with Modelandia Hobby House which had up to 19 stores. Orange Crush also released two full-color booklets and a complete paint set for the cars. The box sides show the 18 cars in the series. You could redeem your caps two ways - at the Orange Crush truck and at a Modelandia Hobby House.

The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bag and the instructions are sealed in the bag as well. This has contributed to wear and you must be very cautious with them. The boxes were very thin and fragile cardboard. Orange Crush had the boxes and even the instructions specially made for them with no mention of a manufacturer.

The models are 1/32 scale Revell Highway Pioneer series - although there is no mention of Revell or Lodela anywhere on the box. They offered free, colorful, plastic model cars if you collected correctly-marked Orange Crush bottle caps. Around 1958/59, Orange Crush of Mexico offered a promotion. Very rare kit with a fascinating history.
