Product Description
Model Shipways MS2020 Mayflower 1620 Plank on Board 1:60 Scale
PLANK-ON-BULKHEAD KIT
Historians have tried to identify the Mayflower, but all that’s certain is that she was a wine-ship of 180 tons of the type commonly used during the early 17th century. In 1957 a British group sponsored the voyage of a replica from Plymouth, England to Plymouth, MA. The vessel was given to the United States as an expression of international goodwill and remains on exhibit at Plymouth, MA.
Model Shipways’ kit is a re-make of the very popular Mayflower manufactured by Model Shipways in the late 1950s with a very notable improvement in that the hull is now plank-on-bulkhead. All wooden components have been laser cut. A generous fittings package contains ready-to-use hardwood blocks and deadeyes, precision cast Britannia metal and brass detail parts and five diameters of rigging line. Detailed plans and illustrated assembly instructions make building easy. (Display base and pedestals are not included.)
