    Description

    Length is 1170mm (46.06”) and height 1020mm (40.15”) and width 430mm (16.9"). 17th century Swedish warship.
    The ship foundered after sailing about 1,300 m (1,400 yd) into its maiden voyage on August 10th 1628. It fell into obscurity after most of her valuable bronze cannon were salvaged in the 17th century until it was located again in the late 1950s in a busy shipping lane outside Stockholm harbor. The ship was built on the orders of the King of Sweden Gustavus Adolphus as part of the military expansion he initiated in a war with Poland-Lithuania (1621–1629).
    This is a handmade kit by Mantua/Sergal. It took over 2 years to build this model and uncountable number of hours of work that I gladly took for fun.
    I have been building ship models since 2011 and I currently have a total of 11. Some of my other projects are Victory (Caldercraft), Santa Ana (Artesanía Latina), Sovereign of the Seas (Mantua), Santisima Trinidad (Occre) and many others.

    If you have any question or want me to include more photos, please do not hesitate to contact me.
    Please allow 1-2 weeks to prepare shipping since I will have to check availability with the packaging company, they will have to make a wooden crate etc.
    Thank you
