Creating Historic Model Ship Kits Since 1905

The placement of fittings on deck of a model ship requires careful planning and attention to detail. Each fitting must be accurately positioned to reflect the layout of the ship’s deck and the purpose it serves. For example, cannons are typically placed on the sides of the ship where they would have been used in battle, while lifeboats are usually located near the stern for easy access in case of an emergency.

Fittings not only add visual appeal to a model ship, but they also serve a functional purpose. For instance, anchors are used to stabilize the ship and prevent it from drifting in the water. They are typically attached to the bow of the ship with rigging and are made to be removable, just like on a real ship. This attention to detail not only makes the model more realistic, but it also allows for customization and adjustments to be made during the building process.
