M301 Constructo Coastal Trade Schooner - Highly Prefabricated Wooden Ship Kit
Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Constructo kits are the finest of all the older prefabricated wooden ship kits. The box says 'Scale Model Ship Kit Assembled In a Jiffy' and the contents back up that claim. Inside this kit is a completely shaped and painted hardwood hull with predrilled mast holes, finished hardwood display stand, very small metal fittings ('Preventer-bolts'), deck hatches, wheel house, lifeboats, etc in cut-to shape hardwood, masts, booms, sails and gaffs in pre-cut hardwood stock, printed decking and hull siding material that you glue directly to the parts, 'sea-base' print for the wooden base, sail cloth with printed sails, detailed instructions, another sheet of illustrated instructions and an excellent rigging diagram. All this for a kit that measures only 7 inches long when assembled! The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all wood and metal parts and includes deck and hull side printed sheets, printed sail cloth and both instruction sheets. Constructo kits were made in Spain and early issues in the USA were marketed by Constructo Nautical Miniatures, Inc, New York 1. There were many series - this on contained M201 Brago (Adriatic Fishing Boat), M202 Chinese Junk, M203 Funee (Oriental Galley), M301 Schooner (Classic Coastal Trader), M302 Endeavour (English Champion Yacht) and M303 Clipper (Fast American Merchantman).
