Prototype ship: San Bartolomé

A large, heavy 1:48-scale galleon kit supposedly modeled on a ship of the Spanish Armada. A builder review notes the kit comes with all decking and planking pieces pre-cut, calling it "of true eastern European construction technique - Big, Heavy Duty, Built to last forever", with 2mm-thick planking rather than the more common 0.5mm found in many other kits.
