   14 Gun Privateer FAIR AMERICAN      
   Scale 1/48

The Fair American is a reproduction of a 14 Gun Privateer built over 200 years ago and sailed out of Charleston in 1778., now on exhibit at the U.S. Naval Academy Museum at Annapolis, MD.

Now you can build a true replica of this historic vessel that will be over 26" long and 22" tall when complete. This beautiful highly detailed Intermediate Level kit features Plank-on-bulkhead construction with high quality basswood, the preferred wood of professional modelers. All structural hull parts and major fittings are laser cut, so they fit together with remarkable ease. The kit contains over 60 cut or shaped wooden parts, plus 120 extra wood strips for a second layer of planking, should you wish to build your model with a double planked hull. More than 500 fittings of wood, brass and Britannia metal fittings include 14 brass guns on wooden carriages, cannon, chain plates, bell, anchors and wheel. Six plan sheets a 48 page instruction book by Erik A.R. Ronnberg, Jr. and Ben Lankford, plus a 38-page guide to planking the hull make this kit a joy to assemble and display. (Display base and brass pedestals are not included.)
