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. It's a kit of older design that is still produced by Revell, and when completed correctly is huge (over 3 ' long) and incredibly detailed. However, according to the directions is not a trivial task. technically it's a kit of 3 level of skill, but that is because Revell only has 3 skill levels. calling this a 3 level is a bit like saying to reach the Summit of Mount Everest is a difficult hike.
