Front of ship

I really don't know much of anything about this ship besides that it's been around me for atleast 26 years.  It is VERY dusty but I'm afraid to clean it off because I don't want to break anything and not sure what I can use that won't damage the paint.  It's in excellent shape with the exception of the dust build up.  I don't even know if this is worth anything, but someone mentioned to me that they thought it was.  Any information about this ship would be helpful.

Most of these ship's models

Most of these ship's models of this type date from the late 1960's, while not mass produced in the modern sense of the term they were made in large numbers in Southeast asia and India and imported here. Values for them tend to still be quite modest, most sell for less than $75.00. To clean yours I would suggest blowing the worst of the dust off with low pressure compressed air.
