  • Artesania H.M.S. Bounty 1783
    Artesania H.M.S. Bounty 1783 Kitset,
    HMS Bounty, also known as HM Armed Vessel Bounty, was a small merchant vessel that the Royal Navy purchased for a botanical mission. The ship was sent to the Pacific Ocean under the command of William Bligh to acquire breadfruit plants and transport them to the West Indies. That mission was never completed owing to a mutiny led by acting lieutenant Fletcher Christian. This incident is now popularly known as the mutiny on the Bounty. The mutineers later burned Bounty while she was moored at Pitcairn Island. An American adventurer rediscovered the remains of the Bounty in 1957; various parts of it have been salvaged since then.

    The HMS Bounty is well known from films and books. It was a relatively simple boat: a merchant ship, rigged as a frigate and equipped for exploration journeys, a common practice amongst all navies during the 18th and 19th century.

    This wooden boat kit comes with a set of pre-sewn sails.

  • China Junk 1880 1/60 Aoshima
    "Junk" is a generic term used for ancient Chinese vessels. Junk vessels were widely used to transport people and goods on the sea, rivers and lakes in ancient China. The name derives from "jong," which the Spanish translated to "Junco." Unlike Western vessels, junk vessels have no keel, and had 2 or 3 layers of sheathing. Oil or lime was applied to the surface to prevent water from seeping in. The simple construction of the mast and sail allowed for easy lowering of the sale in case of a storm or strong wind. Junk vessels were far advanced compared to other vessels of the same era. The vessels were further advanced during the Song Dynasty, and were used to travel as far as India and Arabia for trade.

    Will be approximately 27.3cm long, 33.cm tall and 12cm wide when assembled.

    Gato Submarine History

    The United States Navy Gato class submarine was the forerunner of all US World War II submarine designs. The Gato-class boats were considered to be "Fleet Submarines". They were to scout out ahead of the fleet and report on the enemy fleet's composition, speed, and course, then they were to attack and whittle down the enemy in preparation for the main fleet action.
    USS Gato (SS-212) was the lead ship of her class of submarine in the US Navy. She was the first Navy ship named for the Gato, a species of small Catshark. The Gatos and their successors formed the core of the submarine service that was largely responsible for the destruction of the Japanese merchant marine and a large portion of the Imperial Japanese Navy in World War II.
    The Gato-class could hold a maximum of twenty-four torpedoes which could be launched from ten torpedo tubes. They were also armed with one 3 inch deck gun and a variety of smaller anti-aircraft weapons. Measuring 307 feet by 27 feet by 14 feet, Gato-class submarines had a typical displacement of 1,525 tons. General Motors Diesel engines and electric motors provided 6,500 brake horsepower, resulting in a speed of 21 knots.
    Seventy-seven of these boats were commissioned from November 1941 (Drum) through April 1944 (Croaker). Twenty ships of the class were lost during World War II.
