Product Description

The Galleon “Roter Löwe” card model kit from Orel Publishing faithfully recreates a late-16th-century Dutch-built warship that played a key role in the early naval ambitions of the Duchy of Prussia. Built in 1597 in the Netherlands, the “Roter Löwe” was intended as the flagship of a newly formed fleet and later served as a guard ship in Pillau before completing its final voyage to Lisbon.

This 1:100 scale paper model captures the elegant yet powerful lines of a Renaissance galleon, complete with historically accurate armament and deck layout. Designed for experienced modelers and naval history enthusiasts, the kit offers a rewarding build and an impressive finished display model.
