The model depicts the ship's configuration during the War of 1812 (as best the designer, George Campbell, could figure it out).  The "living color" scheme seems far more likely for that period.  Gold leaf was pretty much out of fashion by that time (except on small details); the U.S. Navy's passion for simple black-and-white color schemes seems to have come later.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

Noticed something odd about the instructions for the Revell Constitution.  The stern decorations.  The instructions have the stern decorations as being very, well, colorful.  I've seen most builders have the decorations as just white, or gold and white, along with the bow decorations.  I'm sure both ways are correct, but what timeline does the more colorful version fall into?
