Description

CUTTY SARK CLIPPER SHIP, REVELL PLASTIC MODEL KIT #5401-4100, 16" LONG, 1979, PARTS IN FACTORY-SEALED BAG, MANUFACTURED IN THE USA
THIS BEAUTIFUL MODEL OF THE CLIPPER SHIP CUTTY SARK IS MADE OF PLASTIC.  THE SAILS ARE ALSO MOLDED IN PLASTIC, BUT OF A THIN PLASTIC TO SIMULATE FABRIC.  THE RIGGING IS SIMULATED WITH ENCLOSED HEAVY WEIGHT BLACK AND TAN THREAD.  ALL OF THE PLASTIC PARTS (EXCLUDING THE SAILS) ARE STILL ATTACHED TO THE SPRUES (FRAMEWORKS) AND ENCLOSED IN A
FACTORY-SEALED
BAG.  THE SIMULATED SAILS ARE NOT ATTACHED TO SPRUES, BUT ARE DESIGNED TO BE CUT OUT OF THE MOLDED PLASTIC SHEET.
THE SHIP CAN BE ASSEMBLED EITHER AS A SIMPLE DISPLAY OR WITH AUTHENTIC RIGGING.  BESIDES PLASTIC CEMENT, THE BUILDER WILL ALSO NEED COPPER, FLAT WHITE, FLAT BROWN, AND FLAT TAN PAINTS.  ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ARE PROVIDED IN ENGLISH, GERMAN, FRENCH, DUTCH, AND SWEDISH.  THE KIT IS DESCRIBED AS BEING SUITABLE FOR AGES 12 TO ADULT.
OVERALL, THE BOX IS IN GOOD CONDITION.  THE PARTS, INSIDE THE BOX, ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
I BOUGHT THIS MODEL OVER 25 YEARS AGO INTENDING TO ASSEMBLE IT WHEN I RETIRED.  NOW, RETIRED, I HAVE NO ROOM TO DISPLAY IT, SO I AM OFFERING IT FOR SALE.  IT HAS BEEN STORED IN OUR SMOKE-FREE HOUSE ALL OF THESE YEARS.  THIS MODEL WILL BE CHALLENGING TO ASSEMBLE, BUT REWARDING TO DISPLAY.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.
