Woody Joe 1/75 Kanrin Maru (No Sails) Wooden Sailing Ship Model Assembly Kit

This is a 1/75 scale wooden sailing ship model of the "Kanrin Maru (without sails)" from WoodyJOE.

This motor-sail ship, ordered from the Netherlands by the Tokugawa shogunate, was a screw-propelled steam-engine steamship with a wooden hull. In 1860, it carried a Japan-US Commerce Treaty Exchange Mission to San Francisco. Along with Captain Katsu Kaishu, John Manjiro and Fukuzawa Yukichi also boarded the ship.

This kit is primarily composed of high-precision laser-machined wooden parts, and also uses metal etching and soft metal parts. It is a precision model of the ship in its motorized state with the sails removed. The keel frame, which forms the base of the hull, uses a box structure with a stable framework.

This is a wooden model that requires assembly. Separate adhesives, tools, paints, etc. are required for assembly and painting. Finished size: Length 820mm, width 203mm, height 487mm. This unpainted wooden assembly kit is primarily made of wood. Tools, paint, etc. may be required separately. Estimated build time: Approximately 150 hours Components: Wooden parts, etching, brass, soft metal, etc. Laser-cut
