The kit is plank-on-bulkhead construction, and contains laser cut wooden parts with limewood deck and hull planking. Hundreds of photo-etched brass parts replicate ornamentation and other fine detailing. Molded plastic lifeboats, brass wire, nails and eyebolts, cast metal anchor and propellers supply life-like realism. Even the smoke-stacks are complete with copper rivets!
Eight sheets of precise plans and a 32-page book of photographic instructions. Hardwood display board and brass stanchions are also included.
Expert Skill Level.
Length 42”, Scale 1:250.
Please note: The manufacturer of this wood kit is based in Italy.

provided require critical thinking and some modification as needed.
This is not a build by numbers kit, and is not for everyone. Additional technique books, and or
access to the advice of an experienced wood modeler or wood model club is
recommended.
