Description: The is a New Old Stock (NOS) wood ship model of the historic Swedish AMPHION by Corel Modelismo of Milan Italy. Box has been opened to confirm content with detailed plans present, all original plastic sealed bags intact and both red parts trays have never been opened (though the metal trim pieces have shifted to one side (see pics). *** I guarantee this kit has all the pieces *** It's been so long I can't remember when I purchased this model. It has been stored always indoors and I believe in EXCELLENT, like new, condition. I realized I will probably never get around to building it given all the other projects ahead of it. So, take it off my hands before I change my mind. Note the alternate paint and trim scheme in the main picture which I believe is closer to what the vessel actually looked like. Manufacturer's Description: Designed and built as a fast vessel for King Gustav III of Sweden, it was also used in naval battles such as the victorious Battle of Svenskund against the Russians. Launched in 1778, it was built to a design of Fredrik Chapman in the Djurgarden shipyard in Stockholm. Chapman was the first naval architect to codify the design of the hull on the basis of precise mathematical ratios, rather than relying exclusively on empirical methods common at that time. The ship was schooner-rigged and this, together with the tapered line of the hull, gave it exceptional sailing qualities. Our model is based on original documents of the period and shows the ship as it looked in 1790. Thanks for looking
