             This is the Latina 1/87 scale  Santa Ana Ship Kit

            The Santa Ana was built at El Ferrol (Spain) in 1784.
      She was a prototype of a series of 8 ships and carried 112 guns. In
      Trafalgar (1805), she fought against the Royal Sovereign. After more
      than 3 hours fighting, with over 100 men killed, her rigging destroyed
       and surrounded by many British ships, she surrended. But, during the
        heavy storm that followed the battle, her crew seized her and the
                         Santa Ana arrived in Cadiz.

FEATURES: Brass hardware such as eyebolts, stanchions, rings. and hinges
          Highly detailed brass bow (figurehead) and stern parts
          Detailed construction methods allow modeler to form the hull by
            attaching planking strakes to the false keel and frames. Modeler
            will want to file and sand the whole hull until you have a compact
            and smooth surface. Also, each mast and yard arm are hand sanded
            to the correct shape. All deck accessories must be built, painted,
            or stained for added realism. Taking the time to do the detail work
            will give, a truly realistic boat model and very rewarding building
            experience for the modeler.
