1/400 H315-169 Revell Hawaiian Pilot C3 Freighter 'S' Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Original issue from 1955 with beautiful hardbox artwork by Scott Eidson. Well detailed for that time and molded in high-gloss light gray. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. I believe that the Matson Line Hawaiian Pilot originally started life as the Navy USS Burleigh C-3 Transport. After the was she became the Oceanic lines SS Sonoma (#2). On July 14, 1953, Hawaiian Pilot collided with SS Jacob Luckenbach (another C-3 freighter, ex-Sea Robin), off San Francisco. Luckenbach sank in 30 minutes; the crew was safely transferred to Hawaiian Pilot and there was no loss of life.
