1/216 H361 Revell Stag Hound Clipper Ship
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Very nicely detailed like all early Revell sailing ships. Full hull kit with premolded ratlines, optional sails and extensive rigging instructions. The kit has never been started. The parts are all still in the internal factory sealed bag. Includes instructions and vacuform sails in 'excellent' condition. The Stag Hound was designed by the famous Donald McKay and was launched on December 7, 1850. She is famous for her great speed and turned a nice profit for her owners. The most notable event was when the Stag Hound was asked to take a copy of President Lincoln's inaugural address to London. During this run, she raced the steamer 'America' and won easily. Shortly after this she was lost off Brazil to a spontaneous combustion of her coal cargo. The crew successfully abandoned ship. The captain was the last to leave. He lowered the American Flag, wrapped it around himself and jumped overboard.
