Model Ship – C.S.S. VIRGINIA

Description

Bluejacket
1/16 Scale Model
Kit #1041
In July of 1861, the confederate Navy began converting the
partly burned hull of the captured Union wooden steam frigate, MERRIMAC, to an
ironclad. Rechristened VIRGINIA, she set forth in March, 1862 to do battle
against the blockading U.S. Navy fleet, eventually meeting her match, the
MONITOR. This kit is intended for the less experienced modeler. It contains a
pre-carved basswood hull, finely cast Britannia fittings, and all the other
parts needed to complete this historic vessel.
