For what little it's worth, here's my personal list of Revell ships I'd like to see reissued (in no particular order):
Powered ships:
U.S.S. Olympia
Four-stack destroyer
U.S.S. Forrest Sherman
S.S. Brasil (or Argentina)
Calypso
Great Eastern
U.S.C.G.C. Campbell
U.S.C.G.C. Eastwind
Steamboat Robert E. Lee (preferably with the original hull, rather than the artificially deepened one that accomodated the motor and batteries of the motorized version)
Sailing vessels:
Mayflower
Golden Hind
Cutty Sark (1/96)
Flying Cloud
Charles W. Morgan
Viking Ship
Santa Maria
Yacht America
Batavia
I've left off the U.S.C.G.C. Eagle because (through, I think, a perfectly honest mistake back in the fifties) it's based on a defective set of plans and the hull proportions are significantly distorted. (But I would be happy to see it reissued as the Gorch Fock I, which it represents fairly accurately - except for such things as the 1950s-vintage American motor launches.)
I echo RCBoater's comment regarding re-labeled reissues. I rather suspect none of the people currently employed by Revell Germany had anything to do with the practice to which he refers; indeed, the current management may not even be aware that it went on. But repackaging ship model kits with names on them that have no real relation to the parts in the box is an extremely deceptive practice; it really amounts to outright fraud. The examples of which I am aware are as follows:
"H.M.S. Beagle." Probably the most egregious case. The kit is a modified reissue of the Revell H.M.S. Bounty. The real Beagle resembled the real Bounty only in having a hull, a deck and three masts.
"Thermopylae." The kits (on two scales) are modified reissues of the Cutty Sark. The real vessels resembled each other from a distance - but that's all.
"Pedro Nunes." That was the name given to the Thermopylae when she was serving as a Portuguese school ship. The kit is another reincarnation of the Cutty Sark.
"Stag Hound." A ludicrously modified reissue of the Flying Cloud.
"S.M.S. Seeadler." A modified reissue of the U.S.C.G.C. Eagle. It bears scarcely any resemblance to the real Seeadler.
"C.S.S. Alabama." A modified reissue of the U.S.S. Kearsarge. Not as inexcusable as most of the others, perhaps, in that at the time it was released, in 1961, not much hard information about the real Alabama was readily available. And the two ships did look quite a bit like each other, and there were quite a few differences between the two kits. But modern research has established that the kit bears little resemblance to the real Alabama.
U.S.S. United States. Not as bad as most of the others. The United States and Constitution were sister-ships, and the Revell 1/96-scale version of the United States does make an attempt at representing the biggest difference: the raised poop deck. But at best it barely qualifies as an accurate scale model. The 1/192 version, which currently is in the Revell Germany catalog, is a straight reissue of the old Constitution kit; marketing it as the United States is fraudulent.
Revell has issued at least two kits labeled "Spanish Galleon." One was a slightly modified reissue of the excellent Golden Hind kit. The Golden Hind was no more a Spanish Galleon than the destroyer H.M.S. Cossack was a Japanese battleship. And the larger "Spanish Galleon" kit was a completely fictitious disaster, based on "research" in the library of a movie studio. (My source on that point is Dr. Thomas Graham's Remembering Revell Model Kits.) This kit was reissued (in slightly modified form) as an "Elizabethan Man O' War." If neither version ever sees the light of day again, the world of scale ship modeling will be the better for their absence.
I'm sure everybody in this Forum is pleased to learn that a representative of Revell is actually paying attention to it. Revell used to be one of the leaders in the field of scale ship model kits. The year 2007 will mark the thirtieth birthday of the last genuinely new sailing ship kit released by Revell of the U.S. (the excellent little Viking ship). It would be wonderful if the company were to take a serious interest in that sort of subject matter again. I hope a good look at this Forum will convince the management of the company that a market for historically accurate plastic sailing ship kits actually does exist.
