Customer Reviews

A Nice Surprise
This model went out of production at Revell USA some years ago, along with most of their once-extensive sailing ship line, so it was a nice surprise while web-searching to find Revell Germany carrying about two-thirds of the old collection. If you have fond memories of building these kits 30-40 years ago, here's a great opportunity to share them with history-minded nephews, nieces or grandchildren. (Yes, there are some out there, whatever Revell USA thinks.) Professional packing and speedy shipping.

hard to build
quite hard to build (we needed it for a project my son did at school); really small parts; some of the holes are not where they are supposed to be; a zillion pieces; in the end we managed - with some ingenuity and with leaving many parts aside - and it looked like a pretty nice ship once we were done
