X-981-2000 Airfix Saint Louis 1626 French Warship
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Airfix Japan issue. Large-scale and very nicely detailed, full-hull model with billowing vacuform sails. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes colorful flag sheet, three types of standing and running rigging cord, sails and instructions. Although she was a French ship, the Saint Louis was actually one of five 60-gun ships built in Holland. The French Navy was lagging behind and it needed ships quickly; purchasing was much faster than building and the Dutch were possibly the finest ship makers at the time.
