Model Shipways MS2041 1/76 Scale USS Essex Frigate (1799)
Plank on Bulkhead Kit
Model Shipways’ kit is relatively easy to build thanks to CAD-assisted
laser-cut basswood parts, which come in a variety of
thicknesses from 3/32” to 1/8”. Fine basswood is also used for hull
and deck planking. An unusual feature of this model is that the hull
is planked inside and out.
A host of fittings ensures that the model you’ll build is authentic to
the last detail. Masterfully cast Britannia metal guns are miniature
versions of the original armament. Brass nails, eyebolts, belaying
pins and split rings are correctly scaled, and a photo-etched sheet
of detail parts adds the finishing touches. Deadeyes, blocks and
bullseyes are ready-to-use hardwood. Six diameters of rigging line
and ample sail material are also included.
Six sheets of plans, parts
list with parts identifier and clearly written instruction manual
guarantee a great modeling experience.
