1/192 H319-298 Revell USS Constitution Old Ironsides Pre-S Issue - With Glue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Rare, Pre 'S' issue dated 1955 and the first release of this superb model. Please note the deep blue background and stars next to the kit highlights near the box top bottom. The hardbox shows the storyboard history of the ship on the yellow side panels; this was not repeated on any other issue. Revell's early ship models were remarkably detailed and this kit is no exception When this kit was released, it was so far ahead of any other plastic model ship kit even considered that it remained a favorite for over three decades; even by today's standards it is of high quality. Features a full hull, all deck fittings, carriages and cannons on both decks, ship's boat with seats & oars, fife rails, all deadeyes & chainstays, multi-piece masts, Revell's famous preformed ratlines and much more. Includes a display stand, name plate, rigging instructions and even scale, full color flags from the Signal Code Of the US Navy 1864. Never started. The black parts are still sealed in the factory bag; the tan parts are not sealed and have been inventoried complete. Includes large-format, fold-out assembly & rigging instructions with a history of the ship, standing rigging material and even two small metal (plain; not decorated) tubes of unopened glue that are still in the factory sealed bag with the black parts.
