Trafalgar

OcCre’s highly anticipated 1/87 scale, plank-on-frame model of the famous HMS Victory is now available at Ages of Sale!

This is a massive kit designed for the advanced ship modeler, but it has been specially engineered to ease the construction of a framed hull. The kit features high quality woods of oak, mahogany, linden, and beech.

Decorative fittings as well as cannon barrels and many other detailed fittings are made from brass plated castings, with finely detailed parts in photo-etched brass.

This is a big mode that measures 1172mm or about 46″ long when completed, and 785mm or about 31″ tall. The kit comes complete in it’s own special wooden box. Each kit is numbered in this limited edition run of 999 kits. With all these features, this is not an inexpensive kit at $1700. But those familiar with OcCre’s quality products will understand how special this kit really is.

Ever since Artesania Latina’s return, they’ve been producing some amazing wooden ship model kits: Updated Hermione kit, the new Harvey kit, the Wasa, the Soleil Royal, the Endeavour, and others. Now, they’ve brought us a new and incredibly detailed kit of the flagship of the Spanish Royal Navy, the three-decker ship of the line Santissima Trinidad, which led the Spanish fleet at the battle of Trafalgar.

The Santissima Trinidad is a 1/84 scale kit made for the expert ship modeler. As with all their newer kits, printed instructions are no longer included. However, you can download the instructions with a QR code provided in the kit and can simply download the instructions as needed to your phone, tablet, or computer. You can even print them if you like, but there are so many pages of instructions, you’re probably not going to want to do that.

Take a look at the first set of downloadable instructions – click here. There are 14 more sets of instructions, 100’s of pages, plus plans, parts list, and sail plans. All of which will help you to build this magnificent model.

The kit also includes pre-sewn sails to make that part of model construction simpler. Instructions are also provided for use of Artesania Latina’s optional lighting kit.
