1/400 H315-169 Revell Hawaiian Pilot C3 Freighter - 'S' Kit
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Original hardbox issue from 1955 with stunning and beautiful artwork. The kit features all deck fittings, detailed superstructure, all masts, kingposts and booms, cargo hatch covers, lifeboats & davits and much more. Inside, the kit is as new. It has never been started and all small parts are still sealed in the small factory bag. All larger parts (which were never sealed) are inventoried complete and includes the instructions, decals and flag sheet. NOTE: the box would rate higher than 'excellent' but is graded as such because there is a long crease at the right top which did not show up on the photo. Depending on the angle of the box, sometimes you can see the crease and other times you cannot. 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.
