Revell Stag Hound Clipper - The Largest Merchant Ship of Her Day, 1/216, H345-300
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$85
From 1966 and very well detailed like all early Revell sailing ships. This full-hull model features complete deck fittings & deck housings, deadeyes, fife rails, ships boats, five piece masts with separately molded platforms and cross trees, separately mold yards that can be positioned at any angle, display stand & name plate, premolded ratlines, optional sails, standing and running rigging material and full rigging instructions. Molded in three colors; black, white and wood tan. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes color flag sheet, decals and instructions. Please NOTE that the original owner painted out the Revell logo at the top right; that is the only reason that the box is graded only 'good-.' The Stag Hound was designed by the famous Donald McKay and was launched on December 7, 1850. She is famous for her great speed and turned a nice profit for her owners. The most notable event was when the Stag Hound was asked to take a copy of President Lincoln's inaugural address to London. During this run, she raced the steamer 'America' and won easily. Shortly after this she was lost off Brazil to a spontaneous combustion of her coal cargo. The crew successfully abandoned ship. The captain was the last to leave. He lowered the American Flag, wrapped it around himself and jumped overboard.
Revell Cutty Sark Clipper Ship - 3 Feet Long, 1/96, H364-995
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair
$125
Rare first issue of this kit dated 1960. Large and highly detailed, measuring 36 inches long when built. This kit is the standard that other large-scale plastic sailing ships models are measured by. Since this is the first issue, the model has the factory painted copper hull below the waterline. The model features highly detailed deck, deck houses, cargo holds and removable covers, masts, yards and booms, bilge pump, windlass, 20 crew figure, lifeboats with oars, life preservers, anchors and anchor chains. With draftline and transom decals, figurehead, finely detailed hull, preformed ratlines and molded deadeyes, pin rails and blocks, full standing rigging instructions and diagrams and thread & chain for rigging. Molded in three colors - black, ivory/white and dark swirl wood tan. Inside, there has never been any assembly but NOTE: the bulwarks and outer raised white hull trim have been airbrushed white on both hull halves. While the work is neat (very good+ to excellent), there is white overspray on the factory copper paint. There is no other painting. The parts have been inventoried 100% complete and includes decals, color flag sheet, standing and running rigging line, chain and all assembly and rigging instructions. NOTE: the part numbers are off from the instruction book; I believe that the parts are from a later issue. I have also included a set of copied instructions that lines up perfectly with all of the part numbers on the trees.

$129
This is a 2006 reissue of the original 1961 kit. The model is 20 inches long, full hull and well detailed. Never started.

In December 1962, in fog off San Diego, Oriana collided with CV-33 USS Kearsarge, causing considerable damage to both vessels. A claims court found Oriana's captain had been steaming too fast for conditions. Afterwards, the CV was good-naturedly nicknamed "The Mighty Kay-runch."
