   Scale  1/ 48

     Toward the end of the 18th century, “Virginia built” boats were used as pilot boats from the Delaware Capes to Hatteras. During the American Revolution and the War of 1812, the U.S. government issued privateering commissions to many privately owned vessels of this type.

Now you can build a true 1/48 scale replica of this historic boat that will be over 20" long and a height of over 18" when complete. This wonderful circa 1800, Entry Level Kit features a solid basswood hull, shaped and drilled wooden blocks and deadeyes, Lead Free Britannia metal parts for the pumps, galley stacks, and anchors, Brass Eyebolts, strops, rings and chain plates, rigging line, wooden mast hoops, and plenty of pre cut wooden strips for decking, cabin, mast and more are also included, three sizes of rigging line, and with the very detailed plans, 40-page instruction book this kit will be a joy to assemble and display

(Display base and pedestals are not included.)
