C Mamoli HMS Victory 104 Gun First Class Vessel Italy 1/90 Scale Model Ship Kit

Description: With full instructionsThis is a rare kit and massive kit one of Mamoli's top of the line models, very hard to find and is beautiful when finished. I am still building one and I have to say of all the wooden kits, C. Mamoli is the best. The design and instructions are sticklers to accuracy. This kit is not for the faint of heart but the rewards when finished is breath taking. This is truly a museum piece and is becoming a rarity among Model Builders. I have seen these kits go for over $900.00 if you can find one. Great kit for the intermediate builder, The choice of the scale 1:90 in the reconstruction of such an important model offers the twofold advantage to adopt planning solutions open even to the less experienced modeler and to construct without excessive difficulties a compact model. Large use has been made of precious wood molded according to the form requested by the original. The molten metal port-holes allow a perfect execution of the openings for the guns and it is not necessary to bore the planking. No plastic or plastic wood parts are used. The structure of the quarter-deck is all wood and on it are applied various molten metal decorations. All wooden parts are pre-cut and numbered, and all fittings are ready to use. Fittings include 104 burnished metal cannon, plus other parts of gilded metal, walnut and brass. 13 sheets of plans are the best detailed Mamoli has ever done. The sheathing of the bottom of the hull with about 3.000 plates reflects the constructive schemes of the original and is of great realistic effect. The observance of the scale is so scrupulous that the quantity of the strips of the planking is the same as the quantity of the boards on the original. Length: 43.94″/ Height: 30.43″/ Scale: 1:90
