Set sail for rich adventure on the high seas with Revell's U.S.S. Constitution model ship kit. Awash in history, the Constitution (dubbed 'Old Ironsides' for her ability to withstand cannon fire) participated in several decisive naval battles in her time. Revell's detailed 'Old Ironsides' plastic replica is a masterpiece of workmanship. The kit contains over 1385 parts including vacuum formed sails, 6 different rigging lines in black and tan, a foot long anchor rope, and pre-formed shrouds/ratlines.

Fully built and assembled, the ship is museum-ready at 1/96 scale, measuring 38 inches from bowsprit to stern and about 26 inches tall to the top of the mainmast. The main yard with stay sail booms is about 15 inches wide. The fully illustrated comprehensive assembly and rigging instructions are separated into two forty page booklets. The Revell U.S.S. Constitution kit is a perfect challenge for naval history fans, model ship fans and tall ship model fans everywhere.
