Product Description

This Pram Warship Card Model Kit in 1:200 scale by Orel Publishing (No. 388) represents a distinctive flat-bottomed naval vessel used by France in 1803 during preparations for the planned invasion of England. Designed for operations in shallow coastal waters, the pram combined heavy firepower with a shallow draft, making it ideal for amphibious and coastal warfare.

Originally derived from transport vessels used on rivers and canals, prams evolved into powerful naval platforms in the 18th and early 19th centuries, often armed with 10 to 50 guns. At the Bois de Boulogne camp, these vessels were adapted as landing and support ships for Napoleon’s forces.

This highly detailed card model kit is intended for experienced model builders, offering accurate structure, refined surface detail, and historically inspired proportions. The kit includes 8 A4 sheets, with clear English-language instructions, making it a rewarding and immersive naval modeling project.
