A strong navy was essential. During the 1620s Sweden was at war with Poland. In 1625 the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus ordered new warships. Among them the Vasa. The Vasa was built at the Stockholm shipyard by Henrik Hybertsson - an experienced Dutch shipbuilder. His experience was much needed as the Vasa was to be the mightiest warship in the world, armed with 64 guns on two gundecks. In 1628 the ship was ready. Sunday August 10 was the day of the Vasa's maiden voyage. The beaches around Stockholm were filled with spectators, among them foreign diplomats. The maiden voyage was to be an act of propaganda for the ambitious Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus. The Vasa set sail and fired a salute. But only after a few minutes of sailing the ship began to heel over. She righted herself slightly - and heeled over again. Water started to gush in through the open gunports. And, to everyones horror and disbelief, the glorious and mighty warship suddenly sank! Of the 150 people on board, 30-50 died in the disaster. When Vasa had been salvaged in 1961, archaeologists found the remains of 25 skeletons.  After the disaster the captain of the Vasa - Söfring Hansson - was arrested. The Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus was not in Sweden at the time. He was waging war in Poland. It took two weeks for him to learn about what had happened. When he did, he wrote angrily that the disaster had happened because of \"imprudence and negligence\" and that the guilty parties had to be punished. Söfring Hansson and many others were called to inquiries at the Royal Castle of Stockholm.  At the inquest people were troubled by the fact that the shipbuilder Henrik Hybertsson had died the year before the Vasa was completed. Instead his brother and partner, Arendt de Groot, was held responsible for the completion of the ship. But in the end no one was condemned for causing the disaster. The people in charge of the inquiries concluded that the ship was well built - but badly proportioned. The kit of the Vasa Features ddouble plank on frame hull construction, building plans with general details, English instructions, lost wax brass castings walnut and lime planking, wooden masts and spars, brass and walnut fittings, etched brass details, rigging cord and silk flags. All sheet ply sections are laser cut for accuracy.

While in college I was struck with WanderLust and wanted to travel and work in foreign countries. Luck smiled upon me and in 1968 I found a job with the Mattel Toy Company in Italy. In 1971 a customer who owned hobby and toy stores in Rome asked me to become his partner. We struck a deal, I left Mattel and became an Italian business man. It was November of 1972 when a short, red-headed man with a huge smile walked into our office carrying a big box with a photo-label reading HMS Victory by Sergal. And that's how we met Sergio Fabrizi, the designer and original producer of this fine kit.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eSergio was alive with passion for his kit and convinced us to place his built up prototype model of HMS Victory in our flagship toy and hobby store.  His kits sold out in a hurry and he could not make enough to keep up with our orders. And then we discovered that this was the first kit Sergio ever designed and produced.... his real trade was designing up-scale bathrooms for rich Italians with big villas. But ship modeling was his passion and he had been a scratch builder from childhood. The friendship grew and Sergio inspired me to start the Model Expo -  company in 1974 advertising Sergal kits in the U.S. and shipping to modelers from Rome, Italy. Sergio went on to design and produce some of the worlds' greatest kits ... Soleil Royale, Sovereign of the Seas and many others. One day he tired of it all and sold the rights to Mantua Model who continues to produce his kits to this day. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eI've seen them all ... HMS Victory kits from other manufacturers ... and although this kit was designed in 1971 I've yet to see a better design nor better materials. Plywood is the finest available and the laser cutting is perfect.  Planking is limewood (basswood in Europe) and walnut. Castings are bronzed white metal, there is an abundance of machined brass, photo-etched brass. Instructions in English, Italian, French and German are beautifully illustrated in 34 pages and accompanied by 8 giant sheets of plans. Even the flags are made of delicate cloth designed to drape realistically. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eScale is 1:78 (78 times smaller than the real HMS Victory, which you can visit in Portsmouth, U.K.)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eLength of the finished model is 52\" ..... if you need a display case visit Model Expo - 's site. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eSize of the kit box is 36 x 13 x 3-1\/2\" .  Weight is 13 lbs 3 oz. ... shipping weight will be about 18 lbs. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eSkill Level?

The ship set out Spit head in December 1787, final destination Tahiti. On the return voyage, owing to the strict discipline imposed by the captain, which clashed with the idle stay in Tahiti, a certain discontent began to spread through the crew and it soon turned into a mutiny. Christian Fletcher, the boatswain, took command of the ship and forced Bligh to embark on a life-boat with 18 still faithful men. After a dangerous navigation for more than 4000 miles, Bligh reached the isle of Timor and afterwards England. The Bounty went back to Tahiti where part of the crew landed. Then it sailed for the Pitcairn Isle where Fletcher and the remaining men settled. Only 20 years later the group landed in Tahiti was captured and tried by the English Court-martial. Only three seamen where condemned, while the others were acquitted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: bold;\"\u003eScale 1:60 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: bold;\"\u003eLength: 810mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHeight: 620 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                       ","brand":"Mantua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42957661012070,"sku":"MAN785","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/785-1_4b569305-de93-46ed-b7d1-aa3a0948ca6c.jpg?v=1759421172"},{"product_id":"mantua-786-hms-peregrine-galley-wooden-plank-on-bulkhead-kitscale-1-60-28-long","title":"Mantua - 786 HMS Peregrine Galley - Wooden Plank - On - Bulkhead KitScale 1:60 28'' Long","description":"\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; background-color: rgb(244, 244, 244);\"\u003e\u003cspan style='font-family: \"Arial Narrow\"; font-size: 14pt;'\u003eThis fast cruiser was used to connect England with the North American colonies and was generally referred to as one of the runner class.

However, she did not distinguish herself in this trade; in the most famous race, against Thermopylae in 1872, both ships left Shanghai together on June 18, but two weeks later Cutty Sark lost her rudder after passing through the Sunda Strait, and arrived in London on October 18, a week after Thermopylae, for a total passage of 122 days. Her legendary reputation is supported by the fact that her captain chose to continue this race with an improvised rudder instead of putting into port for a replacement, yet was only beaten by one week.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eIn the end, clippers lost out to steamships, which could pass through the recently-opened Suez Canal and deliver goods more reliably, if not quite so quickly, which as it turned out was better for business. The Cutty Sark was then used in the Australian wool trade. Under the command of the respected Captain Richard Woodget, she did very well, posting Australia-to-England times of as little as 67 days. Her best run, 360 nautical miles in 24 hours, was said to have been the fastest of any ship of her size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eIn 1895 Willis sold her to the Portuguese firm of Ferreira and she was renamed after the firm.
