Revell's Hawaiian Pilot is an old kit and the moulds are from when Revell were located in Venice, California. Many of the injection marks are on the face side of the models sufaces and need filling and sanding.

Revell Aqua Color paints used on this kit.

The full sized vessel has an interesting history, when she rammed and sunk her sister ship the Jacob Luckenbach.

Well built and beautifully painted ship/boat.
