Creating Historic Model Ship Kits Since 1905

Caldercraft model ship kits are highly-detailed and historically accurate replicas of famous ships from different time periods.

These kits are designed for experienced model builders who have a passion for maritime history and enjoy the challenge of creating intricate models.

Each kit comes with high-quality materials such as laser cut wooden parts, brass fittings, and detailed instructions to guide the builder through the construction process. The attention to detail in these kits is unmatched, with every aspect of the ship being meticulously reproduced, from the rigging to the deck planking. These kits also often include photo-etched brass sheets for added realism, as well as cloth sails and flags to give the finished model a lifelike appearance.

One of the most unique features of Caldercraft model ship kits is their use of double planking, which allows for a more authentic look and adds to the overall strength and durability of the model. These kits are not just for display purposes, as they are designed to be fully functional models that can be sailed on water. This adds an extra level of excitement for model enthusiasts who can see their hard work come to life in the water. The range of ships available in Caldercraft’s collection is impressive, covering a wide range of eras and styles, from iconic warships to elegant schooners. Whether you are a seasoned model builder or a beginner looking for a new challenge, Caldercraft model ship kits offer a rewarding and enjoyable experience that combines historical accuracy with skilled craftsmanship.
