Hermione, Lafayette's 32-Gun Frigate· Di20173

A large single-planked wooden kit built on a laser-cut bulkhead framework, with the hull left single-planked so the modeler planks the spar deck themselves and can add interior detail. It is notable for an open, fully-planked gun deck with 28 complete cannons on carriages (no dummy guns or painted gunports), turned-brass cannon barrels, pre-sewn sails, a full-color reference poster, and an 84-page multilingual instruction book. It is pitched as an advanced-level kit due to the amount of scratch-style deck/beam construction required.
