Kit of the non-floating model of the ship Mantua Model Caesar in a scale of 1:300 and a length of 620 mm. A Roman warship from the first century BC with two rows of oars. The kit includes wooden parts, metal castings of decorations and detailed building plans.
Birema, circa 120 BC. The first ships of this time, used by the Romans as warships and merchant ships, were supposed to be powered by two sails. Although this type of oar-powered vessel was relatively fast, it easily capsized with too large a sail. The model gives an interesting insight into the art of shipbuilding at that time.
The Mantua kit includes plywood hull construction, building plans with general details in English, battens, wooden masts and spars, brass and walnut hardware, etched brass details, rig lines and a silk flag. All sheet metal parts are precisely laser cut. The model is not too complicated, even less experienced modelers should be able to handle it.
