Kit of a non-floating model of the President ship in 1:60 scale. A model of an English frigate from the 18th century, which was very fast and easy to handle. The kit includes precise laser-cut wooden parts, finished planking and brass castings as decorations. Length: 52cm. The model is designed without sails so that the individual details of the masts stand out. As an accessory, a set of sails can be added to the model.
The President is a prime example of the many small frigates built around 1750. Economic considerations were decisive for the development of this type of ship. In terms of seafaring, frigates were superior to the older, larger and heavier galleons.
Intermediate kits are suitable for builders who have already built a simpler model for beginners and have basic modeling experience. Models of this difficulty are more elaborate, contain more details, and construction is more time-consuming.
The stylish box with a photo of the finished model is tastefully and graphically designed and contains the name and scale of the model.
After opening the lid of the box, you will find wooden parts of the plywood model, moldings, small parts in plastic bags and a manual.
The set contains complete pictorial documentation with the construction process, the individual steps are carefully displayed. The parts in the building plan are numbered.

We also recommend the purchase of nylon clamps and indispensable modeling pins. We recommend a modeling mat for editing, precise cutting, gluing parts and also as table protection.
For gluing, we recommend universal dispersion glue and Robitronic instant glue medium 20ml. We recommend acrylic enamel paints for coloring. Apply colors with quality brushes (flat brushes for surfaces, round brushes for details).
