Was one of the first French frigates with mixed propulsion, sail-steam, built in 1848. She displaced 2,568 tons. Although she was provided with a mechanical propulsion advanced in concept, she kept the typical masting of the frigates of that time. Scarcely armed, she was mainly used to transport troops. The richness of the superstructures, reproduced with refined performance and faithful scale, the characteristic paddle-wheels and the classic masting give the model a new and original look. Mamoli has taken great care in the recreation of this unusual vessel. Double planked in beech and walnut, kit uses pre-cut wooden parts throughout. Five life boats, zinc paddle wheels, and fittings of brass, cast metal and walnut ensure an impressive finished. Plans and step-by-step instructions included. This kit is listed as a used kit because the box was opened. The box is in excellent condition, there are some tape marks on the sides of the box and it looks like all the parts are in the kit. Instructions and Plans included. Kit Weight: 5.5Lbs. Hello, my name is Marc Mosko. Dba Modelexpo who enjoys helping collectors and their heirs re-distribute prized collectibles.
