Why this kit matters
The HMS Erebus was one of the two vessels of the famous Franklin Expedition (1845) in search of the Northwest Passage. Its legacy of exploration and tragedy has captured public imagination for nearly two centuries.
OcCre’s kit renders that legacy in true wooden-model fashion. With its large size at 1:75 scale and detailed construction method, the kit gives experienced modellers the chance to both build and display a piece of maritime history. Its fine materials and complex build reflect the serious nature of the subject and model alike.
How to use it
Begin by checking the parts list and plans. Assemble keel and bulkheads, then plank the hull with the supplied wood strips. Use modelling glue to fix components and apply paint or varnish as desired. Install deck fittings, rigging and sails, then mount on the included base for display. The build requires careful work, patience and attention to detail.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
