These parts are intentionally not pre-made, encouraging learners to develop craftsmanship skills that lead to true museum-grade modeling proficiency.
This is not just a model kit—it is a training system where you “learn it too!”
Master the skill and recreate this ship—and many others—from real historical photos.
Mastered skill is priceless.
