    Vintage Vasa cross-section from Igra

    in Wood ship model kits

    Posted

    Hi

    I am a new member that would like to share some photos of an vintage kit I recently purchased.

    It is a mid ship cross-section of the Swedish warship Vasa, by the company Igra from the Czech republic. It is 1:60 scale.

    Time has bleached the paper flags and the decals are probably unusable. The original plywood sheets are warped and are not laser cut, old school here. I plan to use real wood in place of the plywood sheets, which are great to have as a reference.

    I like this model because of the large scale which should help my inexperienced fingers. By being a cross-section I can avoid planking the bow and stern which I have failed to succeed with on a previous attempt.

    Unfortunately the original Czech instructions with images are missing, so if anyone has a copy to share I would appreciate to hear from you.

    Cheers.
