America 1851

Kit by Occre

America was the schooner yacht that won the Royal Yacht Squadron's cup around the Isle of Wight in 1851, the trophy later known as the America's Cup.

Occre's 1:75 kit (ref. 12014) uses linden, mahogany and walnut with zamak castings, brass and cotton, and includes a building stand and a photo etched nameplate.
