Model Shipways MS1460 18th Century Armed Longboat 1:24 Scale

Every wood detail in the original longboat has been captured in 9 sheets of laser-cut  basswood (no plywood) and over 60 basswood strips and dowels. 

Thirty-six cast Brittania metal (lead-free pewter) detail parts capture every iron fitting as well as the cannon and swivel guns. 

Brass split rings, rods, eyebolts, nails, parrels and  Belaying Pins are machined and polished. Thirty-four yards and five diameters of jewelry, no-stretch and easy to knot nylon rigging replicates the original. 

Twenty-two walnut blocks and deadeyes compliment the rigging lines. All the decorations you see along the bulwarks and transom of the longboat are neither decals nor painted; they are photo-etched brass and are included.

The 3 sheets of 34 x 44" plans are true to model size. 

The 48 page instruction booklet with over 130 color photos leave nothing to the imagination. It is the most comprehensive, step-by-step instruction manual ever created for a wood ship model.
