Model Shipways 18th Century Longboat Model Ship Kit 1:48 Scale

by Model Expo - True Plank-on-Frame Kit

The longboat was the largest boat aboard an 18th century ship. The ship s principal lifeboat, it was also used for coming and going to the ship to transport supplies and take empty water casks ashore to be filled with fresh water. Longboats were kept fully provisioned at all times in case of an emergency.

Longboats were carvel built with the planks meeting flush at the seams rather than overlapping. A full bow, high sides and fine aft lines made it fairly seaworthy in heavy winds and steep waves. The interior was fitted with thwarts to accommodate eight to ten oarsmen. Many longboats were equipped with a removable mast and sails to allow for more extended voyages. A ship s gun could also be mounted in the bow. 

Designed by master ship modeler Chuck Passaro, our longboat is a true plank-on-frame model, built much like the real longboats of the 18th century.

The model kit uses the finest laser cut basswood for false keel, ribs, locker, floorboards and thwarts. Other materials include brass strips, Belaying Pins, eyebolts and nails, wooden blocks and deadeyes, black and tan rigging line plus cast metal anchor. Pre-printed side friezes and stern decorations are included as well.

Two sheets of plans and a 20-page illustrated instruction manual address every detail of construction.

Value find!
Color: Coffee Frame/Coffee Lens, Lens Width: 54 Millimeters
So cute and feel durable. The color looks exactly like the photo and the fit is great they're not too big which is something I find often when ordering glasses online. Will definitely be purchasing a second pair.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
Color: Boho Multicolor, Size: XX-Large
Wow. These are really nice tops. The material is soft and very comfortable and the fit is true to size. Colors are as pictured. They look and feel like they cost a lot more! I initially order this in 2 different patterns (Boho and Willowfloral) and I just now ordered 3 more, black, purple, and wine red. Can easily be worn all year round and can be dressed up or down. All in all, I’m very pleased with this purchase.

Happy with purchase
Color: White Floral, Size: 3X-Large
This shirt is soft and comfortable. I love the sleeve length. The print is nice. It looks nice with jeans, casual pants, and skirts making it versatile. My only complaint is that I have already noticed fading after two washes.
