Features
The Revell Classics Line is a limited re-issue of select model kits from the 1950s/60s or 70s. In order to ensure that this model kit resembles the original product as closely as possible, the packaging was made true-to-style using the previous original illustration as well as original decals. The construction manual in multiple languages contains detailed assembly instructions. This model kit was produced using the original mold that was manufactured more than 30 or 40 years ago. Insignificant deviations from the original model kit (formation of burrs or slightly imperfect fit) can be attributed to the fact that the mold was not used for a long period of time.
Especially during the fifties US Navy ice-breakers grew more important. The installation of scientific stations at the North and South Pole made permanent en-route maritime support at sea necessary - impossible without ice-breakers. Besides this the Burton Island also served as a base for reconnaissance flights by helicopter, for hydrografic and geological survey and for still more scientific programs. High yield pumps transferring water in ballast tanks from one side of the ship to the other kept the ship in continuous movement. Between 1948 and 1956 the Burton Island participated in 19 missions in polar seas.
