Portuguese Frigate Dom Fernando II e Gloria· 05413

Injection-molded styrene kit of 234 parts depicting the ship as restored to her 1850 appearance, released by Revell in late 2011/2010. The box includes a two-part hull, wooden-look molded decks, multipart masts and yards, textured/vacuum-formed plastic sails, cordage for standing and running rigging, waterslide decals and printed paper signal flags, plus 4 anchors, 6 ship's boats and 60 cast gun barrels; a display stand is also included. Builder reports note the hull halves require some filling at the bow seam and that the kit was originally tooled by the defunct Portuguese firm Occidental Replicas, with the same molds later reissued by Zvezda under the fictitious name "Acheron" (not included here as it is not sold/marketed as this specific ship).
