Model boat kit

HMS Fly

Kit by Amati

HMS Fly was a Swan class sloop launched at Sheerness in 1776 and used for escort and communication work, during which she took several French privateers.

This Victory Models kit builds her at 1:64 on a laser-cut keel and frames with a double planked hull. It includes photo-etched brass parts, metal fittings, rigging thread and 12 sheets of plans.
