Revell 1/232 SMS Seeadler (Sea Eagle) German WWI Commerce Raider, H382-295 plastic model kit

1/232 H382-295 Revell SMS Seeadler (Sea Eagle) German WWI Commerce Raider

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

NOTE: missing three small plastic parts; please read carefully. Rare 1960 hardbox first issue with John Steel artwork. This is a kit of a fantastic subject- the famous WWI sailing commerce raider of Count Felix Von Luckner. The SMS Seeadler was a unique WWI raider in that it was not designed to elude the British blockade and break out to sea...it was designed to pass right through the blockade within full view of the British before attacking allied shipping around the world. No detail was overlooked in the Seeadler's preparation, right down to a Norwegian-speaking crew. The plan went perfectly - and the Seeadler passed inspection at the British Blockade. Her non-threatening appearance helped her in an active and colorful raiding career that nearly went around the world. I highly recommend reading any of several books that you can find about this ship. Von Luckner himself became quite a celebrity for his exciting exploits and his book about the voyage is well worth reading. Well detailed kit for that time. Full-hull and molded in gray, brown and black and includes rigging thread, full rigging instructions and German WWI naval flag. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried and NOTE: missing (1) cathead, (1) peloris, the propellor and missing the anchor rope. Otherwise complete with all other parts and includes flag sheet and instructions. NOTE: the display stand has an end broke off. The end is present and fits back perfectly for a clean repair.
