Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

1962 issue with framable box artwork by John Steel. Very nicely detailed like all early Revell sailing ships. Full hull kit with premolded ratlines, decals, flags, rigging material and full rigging instructions. Molded in three colors. The model has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. 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.
