1/400 H315-169 Revell Hawaiian Pilot C3 Freighter 'S' Kit
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Original issue from 1955 with beautiful hardbox artwork by Scott Eidon. This is a well detailed kit for that time and an all-time favorite among collectors and builders. Inside, the kit is as new. It has never been started and all small parts are still sealed in the small factory bag. All larger parts are inventoried complete and the kit includes the instructions, decals and flag sheet. I believe that the Matson Line Hawaiian Pilot originally started life as the Navy USS Burleigh C-3 Transport. After the was she became the Oceanic lines SS Sonoma (#2). On July 14, 1953, Hawaiian Pilot collided with SS Jacob Luckenbach (another C-3 freighter, ex-Sea Robin), off San Francisco. Luckenbach sank in 30 minutes; the crew was safely transferred to Hawaiian Pilot and there was no loss of life.
