HMS Supply First Fleet 1787 Wooden Model - 1/50 Scale (Artesania 22420)
Build your 1:50 scale model of HMS Supply, English armed brigantine sailing ship from the 18th century. A fundamental jewel for naval modelling. Its assembly system using a false keel and frames brings its construction closer to that of the real ship.
This redesigned naval modelling kit with the HMS Supply model ship contains high quality parts. 6 wooden plates cut by high precision laser, 2 photo-etched plates in brass with numerous details -one of them smaller-, set of birch wood parts -veneers, strips and round rods-, oak wood veneer, fantastic set of 11 cotton sails sewn and ready to be placed, cotton threads for rigging in different colours and thicknesses and flags.
As for the fittings, the HMS Supply box comes with thread and brass rods, nails, eyebolts, rings, chain, aluminium parts, die cast parts -anchors, oars, belaying pins, cannons, water pumps, wooden parts -blocks, frames and deadeyes-, turned parts and acetate.
For its assembly, you can follow our complete step-by-step guide entirely on video - very easy to follow - which you can view for free on the Artesania YouTube Channel. To do this, you can also scan the existing QR code on the box and the parts list. It will be like a masterclass carried out by our professional modelers. The kit does not contain printed instructions. The colour plan and parts list are printed. Likewise, a paper template is included to help the modeler during the process of model building.
Also, it includes as a gift bonus an exhibition base with a nominative metal plate, 7 die-cast figures and copper lining for the hull. To work with copper on the boat, we recommend our 5 mm Micro Riveting Tool (27320), for sale separately.
Once built, this faithful miniature replica measures 23.11'' (587 mm) length, 11.10'' (282 mm) width and 26.65'' (677 mm) height. Complete your wooden model of this beautiful ship by obtaining the best finishes for your HMS Supply at 1:50 scale by painting it with the Specific Paints Set for Armed Brig HMS Supply (277PACK7), sold separately.
Also, remember that, as the boat is prepared to light up, the model can come to life even more with the installation of our LED Lighting Set for Models and DIY Projects (27590), also available separately.
