Product Description

--Reproduce the historic boat with a model
-A plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the skipjack, a boat used in many places in Maryland where oyster fishing was popular, on a 1/502 scale.

[About skip jack]
--Skipjack is a traditional boat and fishing boat used in the oyster fishing that was popular in the Chesapeake Bay in northern Maryland.
――Until 1942, the use of power boats was prohibited for oyster fishing in the Chesapeake Bay, so the skipjack sailing boat was the main fishing boat.
--The skip jack is equipped with one main mast, a head sail in front of the mast, and a main sail in the rear.
――The hull is made of wood and its birth dates back to the end of the 19th century.
--Although oyster fishing in the Chesapeake Bay has shrunk and skipjacks have been reduced, some are still preserved as historic boats.

――This kit is a re-release of the kit released by Pyro in 1958 by the Atlantis model.

-The position keel parts on the bottom of the ship are also reproduced.
――In addition, the details of the deck such as the deck hatch and the position cabin, and the reproduction of the equipment will be enhanced.
-A small boat equipped at the rear of the ship is also modeled.
――In addition, the sail is modeled in the grated state.
