The model’s origin is uncertain: one claim asserts that the model was made by the British Admiralty after the vessel’s capture; another ardues that the model was made in America and subsequently used as a guide for a painting of a naval engagement. Certainly the model was in English hands prior to its acquisition by Colonel Rogers and one can only wonder how the model got there if it had been made in America during the turbulent postRevolutionary period, and by whom, assuming time, money, and talent were available for such an involved undertaking. Plank-on-bulkhead construction uses high quality basswood, the preferred wood of professional modelers. All structural hull parts and major fittings are laser cut, so they fit together with remarkable ease. Kit contains over 60 cut or shaped wooden parts, plus 120 extra wood strips for a second layer of planking, should you wish to build your model with a double planked hull. More than 500 fittings of wood, brass and Britannia metal fittings include 14 brass guns on wooden carriages, cannon, chainplates, bell, anchors and wheel. Six plan sheets a 48 page instruction book by Erik A.R. Ronnberg, Jr. and Ben Lankford, plus a 38-page guide to planking the hull make building easy. Wooden display base and pedestals shown are not included. Click to see Fair American parts list. Intermediate Level · No. MS2015 Length 26-1/2" · Height 22" Scale 1/4" = 1 ft.
