Saucy Jack Barking Well-Smack

Kit by Vanguard Models

Saucy Jack was a well smack built at Gravesend in 1836, a fishing cutter with a seawater tank in the hull to keep the catch alive, and the last of her kind to leave Barking in 1880.

The 1:64 kit has a lime and pear double planked hull, MDF and pear laser-cut parts and an engraved maple deck. It can be rigged with or without sails.
