Revell SMS Seeadler (Sea Eagle) German WWI Commerce Raider, 1/232, H331-400
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Sold
Rare 1966 kit of a fantastic subject - the famous WWI sailing commerce raider of Count Felix Von Luckner. Very well detailed full hull kit. The parts are molded in three colors - wood tan, black and light gray. Features detailed deck, fittings and cabins, preformed rat lines, vacuform sails, running and standing rigging materials, flag sheet, full rigging instructions, silver braided anchor 'chain' and more. Never started. NOTE: missing the following deck fittings - #38 rectangular grate, #54 port cathead (starboard one is present to use as a master), (2) #55 anchor stocks and (2) #66 davits (two others are present to use as a pattern). Otherwise inventoried with all other parts, instructions and flag sheet. 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. Instructions and all other paperwork is present and still sealed in the factory bag.

Berkeley is a very famous manufacturer of flying model kits from the Golden Age of flying aviation, about 1932-1954. Most all Berkeley kits contain a high degree of prefabrication to speed up assembly. Founded in 1933 by William Effinger, the company was quite progressive in producing quality kits - it was likely the Berkeley 'Buccaneer' was the first gas powered model in kit form. In the later 1930s, Effinger acquired the services of a very talented Henry Struck. Struck went on to design numerous award-winning kits under the Berkeley name. Berkeley weathered the post WWII recession and emerged as a major kit producer in the late 1940 and 1950s. These were great years for Berkeley and they produced some incredible and large kits. The company went bankrupt in about 1960 however. Fox engines (Duke Fox) bought the company and released the kits alongside his own FOX models and engines. This arrangement did not last, and in the early 1960s the Berkeley name disappeared from hobby shop shelves.
