    Description

    This is one, unbuilt kit from Mantual Model of the 17th century HMS Sovereign of the Seas. Like the actual ship, this model is enormous, featuring a 1:78 scale (the original ship was over 120' long), and hundreds of bronze decorations, including canons, lanterns, and other fittings. It is a plank-on-bulkhead model, and includes all bulkheads as well as a generous selection of woodwork to cover as well as line for rigging, and numerous other details. The blueprints span several pages, and instructions are also included. Also included is an original invoice from Model Expo 1984 indicating an original sale price of 0 then. It can't be found anywhere online for less than 00 today, from a cursory internet search.
    This kit was part of a large lot donation to our organization from an expert model ship builder. As a result, while we look over each model before posting, we have neither the time nor the expertise to inventory every single part. This kit is one of the most complex of the lot and, while all bags and plastic cases are still sealed, meaning it should be near perfectly complete, that can't be guaranteed. It appears in like-new condition, but is being sold As-Is.
