Aurora Black Falcon Pirate Ship

[Sprue-ce_Goose]

The Revell “Jolly Roger Pirate Ship,” according to Dr. Graham, was initially released in 1960 - but whether it should count is a bit questionable. It was a highly detailed, apparently accurate scale model of an amusement park prop - Captain Hook’s ship at the original Disney World. … This is the one that eventually became the Chicken of the Sea restaurant.

I never knew the attraction became a restaurant.[^o)][:$]

Thanks for the info on those kits.[:D]

Hi PROFF !

When I worked off duty in the civilian world I got to paint that durned thing twice . No known ship ever looked that weird , I am sure !

Yes ! the Black Falcon can be found in aquarium shops as a sunken Pirate Ship bubbler . It is the ship too . How do I know ?

Well , sometimes I got more money than sense . I bought one and using my old built ship ( quite ragged ) I " Restored " the durned thing .The " Bubbler parts were an exact match for the Aurora molds .

The black falcon appears to be the basis of the model used in

Mutiny 1952
