The model includesall the characteristic features and details of these vessels, as we wanted theship to have as realistic an appearance as possible. Construction of the modelis greatly simplified by the high level of pre-fabrication of the kit’scomponents, many of them die-cut or CNC-machined, plus the many fittingsincluded in the kit as standard, including winches, companionways andinjection-moulded handrails.
