HMS Bounty Jolly Boat

Kit by Artesania Latina

After the mutiny on HMS Bounty in 1789, William Bligh and 18 loyal men were set adrift in the ship's small boat and sailed it some 3,500 nautical miles to Coupang in 47 days.

This 1:25 kit of that boat is built on a false keel and frames from laser cut plywood and hardwood sheets with wood strips and veneers. It includes sewn cotton sails, die cast and brass fittings and a display base, and is aimed at beginners.
