The highly ornate Friesland dates from about 1663, when she was launched as part of the fleet of the “Seven Provinces” of the Netherlands. As part of the allied Aglo-French fleet, she took part in the Battle of Solobay in 1672. Mamoli’s double plank-on-bulkhead kit, based on reliable Dutch documentation, features 80 turned brass cannon and over 50 gilded metal ornaments. Hardwood frames and other wooden parts are laser cut. The model is a magnificent replica, complete with authentic deck detail. Cast zinc frames ensure proper squaring and alignment of gun ports, while remaining hidden from view. Silk-screened flags and cotton rigging line reflect the rig plan of the original. Thirteen sheets of plans and step-by-step instructions allow you to build an extraordinary showpiece. Mamoli kit number MV24. Finished length 31″/height 28″/scale 1:75. Kit Weight: 10.5 Lbs. This kit has never been built and it has been in a closet for years. This is a great find, I did a review of the kit and it looks like everything is included. The box is in excellent shape. Sorry, we will not be responsible for any missing parts.
