Product Description

--Make two historic naval battle ships in the Civil War !!

[About the actual ship]
--The Battle of Hampton Roads, which took place from June 8th to 9th, 1862, is one of the first naval battles in the American Civil War and is known as the first battle between ironclads in history.
――The ironclad warship, which had just appeared at that time, was a warship whose hull was armored from wood to iron, and was highly defensive against attacks from enemy ships.
--The Confederate and Confederate Navy ironclads are Merimac, and the Union and United States ironclads are monitors.
--Merrimack was a warship in the United States, but during its construction at the shipyard, it was handed over to the Confederate States of America and was repaired and refurbished.
--In the Allied Forces, it was named Virginia and commissioned.
--One monitor was built as the first ironclad warship in the United States and commissioned in February 1962. It had a cylindrical turret on the deck just above the surface of the water and was equipped with two Dahlgren guns.
-The Battle of Hampton Roads was a four-hour direct confrontation, but we couldn't settle because we couldn't hit each other decisively.
――However, due to this naval battle, the world's warships will be switched to ironclad warships all at once, and the warships will make great progress.

[About the model]
-The model is a set that reproduces the two ironclad warships that appeared in the historic naval battle, the Hampton Roads naval battle, the Confederate Navy Monitor and the Confederate United States Navy Merrimack (Virginia).
――The monitor is 1/210 scale and the total length is about 22 cm, and the Merimac is 1/300 scale and the total length is about 38 cm.
――Each model has a unique style that is not found in modern warships.
――In both cases, the deck covered with iron armor and the surface of the hull are finished with full detail.
-Merimac is of course reproduced with the boats and guns equipped on the hull.
――A unique kit that conveys the historic naval battle, with a display base set for the display that expresses the surface of the sea.
--The Atlantis model re-releases Lindberg's historic kit.
――This kit is recommended not only for veteran ship model fans but also for a wide range of model fans at this opportunity.

[Major features]
――The kit released by Lindberg in 1986 will be revived with the mold at that time.
-Includes a diorama base that imitates the water surface made of vacuum foam
