USS Constitution: K1018

USS Constitution | “Old Ironsides,” our national treasure. Our kit presents “Old Ironsides” as she appeared during her most glorious years, 1812-1815. Her accuracy is based upon three years of painstaking research by Larry Arnot, reading deck logs and maintenance records. As an attestation to her authenticity, our kit has been named “The Official Kit of the U.S.S. Constitution Museum.” It contains over 2600 fittings, 20 different sizes of scaled rigging cord, much photo etched brass, and resin deck boats. The carved basswood hull is solid to the gundeck, which leaves two decks to fit out. Some spar deck planking may be left off, so the interior will be open to view. This is a kit for the expert modeler who is looking for a challenge and the opportunity to make history come to life. Optional copperplates available for additional realism. It is important to note that some pictured items may have been built with optional items not included as part of standard kits, such as pedestals, bases, cases, paint, etc. If there are any questions about the contents of a particular kit, please contact Bluejacket.
