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.

access to the advice of an experienced wood modeler or wood model club is
