Revell 1/96 Frigate USS United States Old Wagon - With Billowing Sails, H396 plastic model kit

1/96 H396 Revell Frigate USS United States Old Wagon - With Billowing Sails

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

Rare 1976 release that is 36 inches long and 27 inches high when assembled. Highly detailed and has the correct changes for this ship. Includes sails and full rigging. Inside, the kit has never been started. All parts except the hull (which was never sealed) are still sealed in the factory bags. All instructions, rigging diagrams, vacuform sails and pre-formed ratlines are included. The vacuform sails grade 'excellent' condition which is well above average. The Revell model depicts the vessel as modified for use as a flagship, with a much enlarged, rebuilt stern and "roundhouse." Writer Herman Melville's (apparently unenthusiastic) service on this vessel, including many details of equipment and life aboard, is detailed in his autobiographical novel, "White-Jacket"(1850).
