09212 Life-Like Gouda Dutch Man-O-War - 17th Century (ex-Pyro)

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

From original Pyro molds cut in the late 1960s. Large scale - measures about 14 inches long when assembled. Very nicely molded and detailed kit for it's time. Features well over 250 parts, individually molded cannon, cradles and cannon hull hatches, separately molded fife rails with belaying pins, pre-molded rat lines, billowing sails, blocks and two photos for use in rigging the ship. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including instructions. NOTE: instructions are photocopies from the Pyro kit. Any kit of a Dutch 17th Century Man-o-War is rare - this may be the only injection molded kit ever made of this famous subject. The Gouda fought in the Anglo-Dutch Wars. She was built about 1636 and was commanded by Jan Egbertsz Ooms. The Gouda and other ships from Witte de With's fleet were lost in a storm in early November 1653. Pyro did not cut molds based on popularity, but usually by the historical significance of the subject. This was not a good business practice, but today's collectors and builders are grateful to have kits of these subjects.
