Model fishing boats

In this category, you will find faithful reproductions of a very charming and recognizable type of vessel along the coast. The building of fishing boats was carried out in a very artisanal way in the numerous shipyards scattered throughout multiple coastlines around the world. The assembly of one of these vessels can represent a marvelous first step to get started in the world of naval modeling due to their structure and size. It can be a very interesting first step to gradually scale up in difficulty until you can assemble other flagship ships such as the Amerigo Vespucci, the Endurance, or, with a little bit more practice, the Endeavour.

    Whaler Essex

    In November 1820, the sinking of the whaling ship Essex, along with the survival of part of her crew, thrilled and moved the US public.

That boat was the Gjøa, and this is the model kit that recreates, plank by plank, the ship that redrew the map of the world. With the OcCre Gjøa model ship kit, you'll build the vessel Roald Amundsen sailed to complete the first...
