Product Description
The Badger (Ex-Pitt) is believed to have been a prize captured during the War of American Independence (1775 - 1783). She is shown on Navy Lists from 1776 and remained in service until sold in 1783. Brigs were generally used for convoy duties, carrying dispatches, inshore reconnaissance and upholding trade agreements; Badger was no exception. Brigs differed from standard ship rigged men-of-war in so much as they were square-rigged on two masts and the bowsprit only. This kit includes: Double plank on bulkhead construction in lime and walnut, all decking in high quality Tanganyika strip, 12 x 4pdr turned brass cannon, fully rigged and complete with walnut carriage assemblies, 2 x 0.5pdr turned brass swivel guns, highly detailed brass etched components, ship's stove, authentic turned brass ship's wheel assembly, authentic ship's boats in high quality resin with walnut components and brass fittings including oars, grapnels and boat hooks. Also includes precision CNC cut and profiled walnut and ply components, all required blocks, rigging line, high quality birch dowel for the masting, fully detailed actual scale plan sheets, and two comprehensive step by step color instruction manuals for a museum quality build.
