Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The celebrated battle between the U.S.S. Constitution and the H.M.S. Guerriere during the war of 1812 was actually the second time these two frigates had met on the open sea. A few weeks prior to their historic conflict, a British squadron led by the lordly Guerriere surround the frigate. With escape seemingly impossible, the captain of the Constitution, Isaac Hull, ordered out the small boats and by kedgin a maneuver whereby an anchor was dropped some distance ahead and the hawser heaved in, the sip was gradually pulled forward. Hull also ordered most of the fresh water pumped overboard and the sails wet down to catch every breath of air. The Constitution escaped. several weeks later the two war ships met again, alone this time, and the mighty Constitution completely destroyed the Guerriere

This review is from: Revell 1:96 USS Constitution (Toy)
I bought this ship for myself, as it's going to be winter soon, and I needed something to do inside to keep busy. I had tried this exact ship many years ago and had two cats at the time who kept stealing my parts. So maybe this time I can complete it. I have just begun and it is time consuming and very intricate work so it makes for a great long term project. I'm sure it will turn out beautiful. Some of the tags on this item are incorrect: It is not a "Disneyland Ship", nor is it a "Pirate Ship". It is an Historical Ship that still exists, retired of course.

This review is from: Revell 1:96 USS Constitution (Toy)
I built this kit over 30 years ago and the quality still remains as high as ever. Revell is a master at creating quality, detailed plastic model kits. The plastic sails were crushed a bit by the newer packaging (an attempt unfortunately to prevent this exact thing). Given I don't use the sails, preferring the rigging, it was not a problem for me. I'd recommend this kit for anyone who enjoys building 16th century model ships but hasn't the patience nor the funds for the museum quality wood kits.
