Product detailed description

It was used by the father of modern battleships, Admiral Fisher, when HMS Renown was the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet; during the voyage to India in 1905 she also carried the Prince of Wales (the future King George V) and his wife. If necessary, it was possible to attach a fast-firing three-pound (47 mm) cannon to the conical plinth on the bow, in the middle of the ship there was a boiler room and engine room, and a small crew cabin at the stern. The boat is designed for beginners to intermediate shipbuilders; is designed as a non-floating desktop mockup.
