Build your 1:50 scale model of Swift, a beautiful Virginia pilot boat from 1805. Buying this model ship kit, you will have every needed part to build this wonderful model ship. It is aimed for beginners modelers.
The Swift was an early 19th-century Virginia pilot boat. Lightweight and overpowered twin master ship, it safely guided the largest incoming vessels into port. In short, these types of boats were used to guide large ships in and out of ports. In this case, they helped those on the North American East Coast because they were easy to manoeuvre, fast and light.
Pilot boats' technical features let the great naval powers of the time enlarge them creating the famous Baltimore Clippers class. That is why it was an obligation that the scale model or replica that we offer you existed.
The contents of the wooden model ship kit for the construction of the American pilot boat called Swift are of the highest quality. It brings with it all the necessary parts for you to build it. Laser pre-cut wooden parts, pre-cut brass parts and hand-sewn sails are ready to be placed. As a bonus, it has a magnificent wooden exhibition base with a nameplate so you can display your model wherever you want once it's built.
