Dapper Tom Baltimore Clipper Solid Hull (1:76)

Classic solid hull ship kits. Designed for the first time modeller, these kits come with a solid hull that just needs a little shaping and sanding. The "Dapper Tom" an 8-gun topsail schooner, is to great extent, typical of Baltimore Privateers of a stormy decade when ships were at the mercy of any stranger. Even armed ships were safe only in proportion to their nimbleness. KIT FEATURES Historically accurate and perfectly scaled Machine carved basswood hull reduces building time Eight cast metal cannon replicate the original 9-pounders True-to-scale wood, brass and Britannia metal fittings Detailed plans and clear assembly instructions Previous modeling experience helpful but not necessary. Solid hull construction is much easier than plank-on-bulkhead. MODEL SPECIFICATIONS Length: 24" Hull Width: 3-7/8" Height: 18" Scale: 5/32" = 1 ft.
