Belona Modelship KIT

H.M.S. Bellona is a splendid addition to the 1:100 series made by Corel. The original vessel, in the 74-gun class, was one of the finest warships the British navy ever owned. Launched 19th February, 1760, she fought for the British Admiralty for over 50 years, mainly in combat against French ships of the same class. She also made many voyages to the shores of the West Indies. In March 1780, the ship was taken in for a general overhaul and was fitted with copper planking. This venerable vessel was finally scrapped in Chatham in February 1814.This high-grade kit includes all pre-cut or pre-milled wooden parts, an extensive set of fittings, including figures, cannons, blocks, steering wheels, anchors, gratings, plus a whole lot more. The brass windows and many other metal fittings have been carefully etched out. The batten material and spars for the masts and booms are also included with a 14-page assembly plan and many detail sketches, plus detailed assembly instructions with a list of parts, making it easy to identify the many single parts. Double-planking.No sails are included in this set so as not to take away from the impressive visual effect of the rigging, thus keeping the model safely in harbour.Technical data:Scale: 1/100 Length: 770 mm Width: 350 mm Height: 615 mm Planking: double
