Revell 1:96, Great kit, if you have the time, tools, and patience to finish it in my opinion

The previous week. I search for information on the Revell 1:96 USS Constitution, so i have to tell.

This is a scale model 1/96 all-plastic of the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat-still anchored in Boston harbor as of this writing. It is almost certainly the best mass-market kits available, or any American for that matter frigate.
