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.

27th March 1942 - a pitch-dark night over St. Nazaire, France. The specially prepared British destroyer "Campbeltown" (formerly USS Buchanan, built 1919) goes up the Loire under full steam flying the German flag. With small explosions the Campbeltown runs aground in front of the dry dock of the port of St. Nazaire, precisely where the Tirpitz will later be repaired. The crew are taken prisoner and German officers go aboard to investigate. 9 hours later the Campbeltown, which is totally full of explosives, blows up and causes serious damage to the dock. She was thus the largest ever time bomb, the Trojan horse of the Second World War.
