Artesania Latina 1/250 scale Juan Sebastian Elcano - 4-masted schooner

Catalogue reference 22250 - EASY HOBBY range

Plastic, wood and metal ship kit

Kit includes:

• pre-painted, single piece, ABS hull - ideal for the modeller new to ship-building, an easy introduction to the hobby !
• stand
• glue, paint and paint brush
• canvas sails with thread for rigging
• wood, grey-metal and brass parts

 Artesania kits are of a good standard and this model, new in 2003, is no exception. Although 4 masted, the rigging is really straightforward with mainly fore and aft sails. A painted ABS hull simplifies building and helps in the production of a compact and handsome model with a finished length of 457mm, height 272mm and beam of 50mm (18" x 10 3/4" x 2")

This 4 masted schooner was launched in Cadiz, as a Spanish navy training ship, on the 5th March 1927. A highlight of her long career was the 3600 mile race between Lisbon and Hamilton in 1964, when modifications were made to the sails to enable speeds of up to 15 knots. She carries a crew of 36 officers, 143 sailor trainees and 70 marines. Overall length is 94.13 metres and two saluting cannons are carried
