Dear Modellers 1/4/15
I thought that you might like more news from the edge of the world near Farcet and keep you up to date with the next addition to the Deans Marine range of Warships.
We like to add a interesting model now and again and this one fits the bill we think.
This model with it 12mm draught is something out of the ordinary, its not a April 1st joke, it really does sail quite well, and it is interesting to pilot in any strong wind, just like the real thing.

The kit makes use of the our house Laser production systems, with a highly detailed glass fibre hull, full fittings set in cast resine, brass etched parts makes up in to this very attractive model ship.
This kit has now been released on the first run system.
