Description
Aoshima’s 1/350-scale sailing ship series features models of famous sailing ships from around the world at an affordable price and in a convenient size for collecting! The Cutty Sark is a tea clipper launched in 1869 in Dumbarton, Scotland. It is a typical high-speed vessel with a length six times its width, and a gross tonnage of 963 tons. It boasted a top speed of over 17 knots. At the time, wood was scarce, so it was a composite ship made of wood and iron, using steel frame and teak planking for the hull. It is still preserved today in Greenwich as the only surviving clipper ship.
