Built at Le Havre in 1794 as a 24 8Lb long gun French corvette, and named L'Unitie, she was captured in 1796 by the British and renamed H.M.S. Surprise. She was rearmed and classified as a sixth rate frigate. Features plank-on-bulkhead construction. All necessary fittings, excellent instructions with a detailed photo illustrated instruction manual. This is without a doubt, the finest kit to come out in a long time. Pre-sewn sails, baseboard, name plate and mounting pedestals are also included. |
