  Pinky Schooner GLAD TIDINGS         
   Scale  1/24 

       Originating in 16th century Europe, the Pinky received its name from its uplifted, narrow, or “pinked” stern. These sturdy, seaworthy craft ruled the New England fishing industry from 1815 to 1840. They were gradually replaced by the larger, faster Gloucester schooners.

       Now you can build a true replica of this historic vessel that will be over 30" long and 23" high. This wonderful Intermediate Level kit features Single plank-on-bulkhead construction uses laser cut plywood, basswood and cherry components. Expertly cast Britannia metal castings include anchor shanks, smoke stacks, windlass, cabin port-lights and turnbuckles. Brass is used for eyebolts, split rings, nail and other fittings. Keel, stem, hull and deck planking strips, dowels for masts and yards are fine basswood. Six diameters of beige standing and black running rigging, deadeyes and four sizes of blocks guarantee a realistic replica, and with the five sheets of detailed plans and illustrated step-by-step instruction manual this kit will be a joy to assemble and display. (Display base and pedestals are not included.
