Cutty Sark Wooden Model Ship Kit by Artesania Latina

In 1885 the Cutty Sark sailed from Sydney Australia to London in 73 days. She hoisted 32,000 square feet of sail and had a top speed of 17-1/2 knots.

New wood kit by Artesania Latina features single plank-on-bulkhead construction with pre-cut wooden parts. You’ll plank the hull with individual mahogany strips, while limewood planking covers the deckhouse and decks. Fine African walnut is used for keel, stem, waterways, coamings, hatch covers, door frames, masts and yards. Hardwood fittings include deadeyes, blocks and cleats. Brass is plentiful in the form of stanchions, rings, belaying pins, eyebolts, navigation lights and housings, rudder hinges, chain, bell, chimney and mastheads. Anchors, bitts, boats, boat frames, davits, signaling cannon, life rings, figurehead, trusses, hoops and other parts are cast metal. Rigging line is supplied in a variety of sizes, and cloth flag and pennants add realistic detail.
