Revell SMS Seeadler (Sea Eagle) German WWI Commerce Raider, 1/232, H382-298
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Rare 1960 hardbox first issue with great John Steel artwork. This ship is a fascinating subject -the famous WWI sailing commerce raider of Count Felix Von Luckner. Revell includes a full page history of the ship, a copy of a letter from Count Luckner and a map showing the voyage and ships sunk. Well detailed for that time. Full hull model is molded in gray, brown and black and includes rigging thread and full rigging instructions. It has never been started. Inventoried complete with all parts and includes flags and instructions. The SMS Seeadler was a unique WWI raider in that it was not designed to elude the British blockade and break out to sea...it was designed to pass right through the blockade within full view of the British before attacking allied shipping around the world. No detail was overlooked in the Seeadler's preparation, right down to a Norwegian-speaking crew. The plan went perfectly - and the Seeadler passed inspection at the British Blockade. Her non-threatening appearance helped her in an active and colorful raiding career that nearly went around the world. I highly recommend reading any of several books that you can find about this ship. Von Luckner himself became quite a celebrity for his exciting exploits.

Mr. Cox also did unique artwork for the early Aurora Catalogs as well.
