Launched in 1797, the Frigate USS Constellation has a long record of service in war and in peacetime. In 1842, she was the first US warship to visit China, and later defended the Hawaiian Islands against annexation by the British.

High-precision laser-cut frames and keel make for easy assembly. Includes carronades, bronzed metal cannons, rigging line, pre-sewn sails and step-by-step instructions. Recommended for advanced level modelers. Length: 40.7 in.; height: 34.6 in.; beam: 17.7 in. Scale 1/85. Artesania Latina kit #22850.
