HMS Diana

Kit by Caldercraft

Diana was an Artois class frigate launched at Rotherhithe in 1794, later sold to the Dutch Navy and destroyed by fire in 1839.

The kit shows her as refitted in 1796 at 1:64 scale, with a double plank on bulkhead hull of CNC-cut timber, brass 18 and 9 pounder cannon and about 2,300 copper hull plates.
