Hess Modern Warship with Graphic Variation (not in my collection) Deviations in the graphics of toys was not unusual for Hess. Pictured is a small modern warship with a red deck, yellow outlined portholes, and different multi-colored hull graphics. This model has no key, so it is either flywheel / friction or a simple roller. It is possibly an earlier version of this toy until graphics were finally settled upon for mainline production.
