Model kit of a Greek trireme from 480 BC in 1:72 scale. The length of the ship model is 515 mm, the building is mostly made of wood with small accessories, it includes a construction plan and instructions with many detailed pictures.
The model is from the time of the Battle of Salamis (480 BC). The crew consisted of 170 rowers and about 30 warriors. Under favorable conditions, the trireme could fly at speeds of up to 12 miles per hour. The tririum's main weapon was a bronze ram that penetrated the side of enemy vessels. The main drive was rowing. The sails were used only for longer voyages. During the battle, the sails and mast were laid and the ship was propelled only by oars.

Suitable tools are needed to build ship models. We recommend an excellent set of Modelcraft tools for ship modelers (set of 12 pcs), or Modelcraft tools for modelers (set of 18 pcs). We also recommend the purchase of nylon clamps and indispensable model pins. We recommend a modeling pad for adjustment, precise cutting, gluing of parts and also as protection of the table.
For gluing, we recommend universal dispersion glue and Robitronic instant glue medium 20ml. We recommend acrylic enamel paints for painting. Apply the paints with high-quality brushes (flat brushes on surfaces, round brushes for details).
