1. Sopwith Camel F.1
A kit consists of a set of laths for the wings and fuselage, ribs cut by laser and a bunch of metal of very poor quality. It also contains the instructions describing the process of assembly, detailed images and a set of drawings made in 1:1 scale.
2. Vasa, 1:75 Corel
The Vasa is a royal Swedish vessel built at the Stockholm shipyard by the order of Swedish King Gustav. It was supposed to be the flagship of the Royal Navy. At that time it was the largest and the most beautiful ship (not only in Sweden). Allies and enemies waited for its appearance. More than 60 meters in length and 50 in height. 64 heavy guns. Several hundred gold-plated and painted figures aboard…
It was launched on August 10, 1628. With all the honors, orchestras and thousands of gapers. A was a majestic sight!
The ship departed from the pier and headed for the exit of the bay. Having sailed 1300 meters, it caught a slight gust of wind and heeled over. The open gun ports were quickly filled with water. The ship failed to stand on an even keel… It sank almost immediately.
Can you imagine the king’s feelings at that moment?
330 years later the ship was lifted from the seabed and restored.
