This was professionally assembled from a very detailed and complex kit made by Mantua of Italy. It was part of a large collection that I acquired, that included a Cutty Sark, Amerigo Vespucci, HMS Victory and USS Constitution. I was keeping the Wasa and the Royale Caroline for myself, but space limitations are forcing me to sell one of them. They are both listed and once one of them sells, I will cancel the listing for the other one. Actual cost will be charged on accepted offers. This item is in the category “Toys & Hobbies\Models & Kits\Boats & Ships”. The seller is “valentuler” and is located in this country: CA. This item can be shipped worldwide.

All together four ships have carried the name Soleil Royale but only the second ever won renown. She was launched from Brest in the late 1600s and took part in the battle of Barfleur. However she would have been remembered for her beauty alone, the design and ornamentation were of such extravagance to have won a place in naval history. The battle of Barfleur began on 19th May 1692 and lasted for almost two days. Having been badly damaged she disengaged together with three others and was systematically destroyed by cannon shot and fire by the Anglo/Dutch fleet. It was reported that her destroyers were ashamed to be a part of her destruction. A plank on frame construction, the kit contains:- Building plans with general details, English instructions, lost wax brass castings, walnut or lime planking, wooden masts and spars, brass and walnut fittings, etched brass details, rigging cord and silk flags.
