Revell Reissues Pirate Ship

Ok, it's borderline tiki but for the older kids here Revell is reissuing their pirate ship model in some sort of anniversary kit reissuance. It's based off the disney/peter pan ship.

That's the coolest! I remember my favorite model was of a pirate ship that I painted with glow in the dark paint and it looked awesome.........until the day my brother and I had a lightsaber duel with my giant tinkertoys and the galleon sank! sigh

Pirate stuff is cool. I had a glow in the dark pirate ship model as a kid too. But I think it came that way as a kit. Also by Revell, I believe.

thanks for the post!

Damn, here I thought this was going to be about the 70's PotC models by MPC with the "Zap Action!" and all.

Wow! I didn't realize there were so many modelers still here. I ordered one from http://www.modelcarkits.com waiting to see what it's like. I'd built some ships in the past, if you're looking for realistic ships though, Lindberg has I think 4 they regularly issue that are a bit more realistic than the revell one. Then again they take a lot longer to build as well 8^)

And if you've REALLY got money modelexpo-online.com sells huge wooden ship kits.
