    This is a 1:250 Plastic B.C. 50 Roman Warship from Academy Plastics.
                          It's for ages 10 and up.

     Roman warships were fearsome weapons and a major factor in the expansion
of the Roman Empire. The ships were powered by sails and oars, and armed with
the spears and swords of the soldiers on board. Protection was provided by
many removable shields along the sides of the craft. A unique "proboscus" on
the front of the ship was a reinforced ram often used to spear enemy ships.
In the event an enemy ship remained skewered to the Roman ship, the soldiers
would leap aboard and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

FEATURES: Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in tan and cream.
          Finely engraved hull and deck detail simulates authentic wood
            texture.
          All parts are precision injection molded including billowing sails
            and body surfaces.
          Sports a small brick fort in the stern of the ship.
          Many oars reach from the sides of the craft into the water.
          Molded in two colors to minimize painting.
          Simple thread rig lines are included.
          Unique display stand base and name plate included.
          Detailed pictorial instructions guide you through assembly.
