Model Shipways NIAGARA BATTLE LAKE ERIE 1:64 SCALE

Description

Model Shipways Niagara kt is a faithful representation of the reconstructed
Niagara
at the maritime museum in Erie, PA. Model design is based on research and plans for the 1990 reconstruction, provided by Melbourne Smith of the International Historical Watercraft Society in Annapolis MD. Laser-cut basswood parts facilitate plank-on-bulkhead construction.
Individual basswood strips cover the hull, and we provide six filler blocks in our Model Expo
Niagara
to make the job easier. True-to-scale Britannia metal, brass, and hardwood fittings assure scale accuracy. Eighteen cast metal carronades and two long guns duplicate the armament of the original vessel. Rigging material includes over 600 blocks and deadeyes and four diameters of rigging line. Six sheets of detailed plans and 40 pages illustrated instruction manual by Ben Lankford clarify every phase of construction. (Display base and brass pedestals not included.)
