Caldercraft HM Cutter Sherborne - Model Ship Kit

Description

Cutters evolved during the second quarter of the Eighteenth Century in Southeast England as swift channel vessels. They soon gained a deserved reputation for their speed, which was not unnoticed by smugglers who soon adopted the Cutter as their preferred smuggling craft. In turn, Cutters were employed by the British Customs Service to counter the smugglers. Cutters carried a large disproportional area of sail for their size and also served as advice yachts, packet boats and, during wartime, privateers. This brand new kit comes with 8 "3pdr" Guns, 10 swivel guns, Walnut CNC cut parts, a double plank on bulkhead hull, and natural hemp for rigging.Our model ship kits are always of the highest quality available, with laser-cut parts and ornamentation made from the finest materials for an authentic look.
