Product Description
The Battleship Wasa (Vasa) 1628 Card Model Kit from Orel Publishing (No. 330) is a highly detailed 1:100 scale paper model of one of the most famous warships in naval history. Conceived as a symbol of Swedish dominance in the Baltic Sea, Wasa was designed to be the flagship of King Gustav II Adolf and the most powerful ship of her time.
Launched in 1628, Wasa tragically sank after sailing only 1,300 meters on her maiden voyage, becoming one of history’s most renowned maritime disasters. After resting on the seabed for 333 years, the remarkably preserved ship was recovered and is now displayed in a dedicated museum in Sweden. This model faithfully captures the grandeur, heavy armament, and rich decoration of the original ship-of-the-line.
Printed on 29 sheets of A3 and 1 sheet of A4, this advanced-level DIY card model offers exceptional detail and historical accuracy. English-language instructions are included. Due to its complexity and size, this kit is recommended only for experienced modelers seeking a challenging and rewarding build.
