Model Shipways 2040 This is a beautiful, highly detailed,
1/76th scale wooden model kit of the U.S. Constitution from Model Shipways.
Launched on October 21, 1797, the USS Constitution has won every battle
she's ever fought. She earned her nickname Old Ironsides after a sailor saw
a cannonball bounce off her hull. Resting in Boston Harbor, she is the
oldest commissioned US warship. Now you can build a true replica of
this historic vessel that will be over 48" long and 32" high when
complete. This kit is based on the 1927 Navy drawings, photographs and
documentation used during the 1993-97 restoration. It is so complete and
highly detailed that shipping weight is an incredible 12 pounds!
Plank-on-bulkhead construction features laser cut wooden parts. High quality
basswood planking strips cover the hull and we include self-adhesive copper
tape for hull plating. True-to-scale Britannia metal, brass and hardwood
fittings and 16 photo-etched brass sheets provide life-like detail. Over 50
cannon, carronade and gun barrels duplicate original armament. Some of Model
Shipways extra touches include laser cut gratings and engraved scrollwork.
Four-hundred yards of rigging line in six diameters are also supplied. Eight
sheets of detailed plans and 48 page step-by-step instruction manual by Ben
Lankford that leaves no construction detail unexplained this kit will be a
joy to build and display.
