Model Shipways MS2263 1/24 Scale Gunboat Philadelphia (1776)
Plank on Frame Kit
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.
