MS2016 – Sultana

Classic solid hull ship kits. Designed for the first time modeller, these kits come with a solid hull that just needs a little shaping and sanding.

One of the most popular kits, the "Sultana" features a machine carved basswood hull that requires only light shaping and sanding.  Other wooden parts, including the 2-1/8" ship's boat, are laser cut for a perfect fit.  Plank-scored decking, spars, wood materials and eight cast metal swivel guns are all included.  For historical accuracy, original rigging is duplicated with scale rigging line and 67 wooden blocks.  Detailed plans by Ben Lankford and a 24 page instruction manual help you build an authentic replica.

 Built by Benjamin Hollowell in Boston in 1767, Sultana was seaworthy far beyond her size of 51 feet. The Royal Navy bought her in 1768, and she became one of Britain's most effective weapons in the fight against smugglers.
