Description
Model kit of the famous sailing ship H.M.S. Beagle, which set out from Davenport, England, in 1831 on a five-year expedition around the globe. At the invitation of the captain and naturalist Robert Fitzroy, the young scientist Charles Darwin also went on board. • Textured hull with cannon wickets • Detailed deck with hatches • Bow section with decorative elements • Detailed masts and yards • 2 anchors, stairways
Assembly and painting required. Kit does not include model cement glue, paint, and tools. Adult supervision where required.
Contents subject to change.
The model is very nice with lots of detail but with one major historical inaccuracy: The main deck in the waist region is about (at scale) 1 meter too high, placing the gun ports on the outside of the hull practically below the main deck! I had to cut the deck and insert additional supports to bring the waist to the right level!
otherwise, a very entertaining model.
I am very pleased with the purchase and especially with the prompt delivery. Very much looking forward to building The Beagle kit and impressed with the quality of Revell Germany. I will definitely be back.
