Anniversary edition: This set celebrates Constitution's role as a symbol of America's naval history, just in time for the celebration of 250 years of the US Navy.

You start with the legendary hull, which was originally made of extremely hard Virginia oak. You install the detailed guns on the battery deck, construct the delicate dinghies and finally dedicate yourself to the supreme discipline: the standing and running rigging of the three huge masts. The illustrated instructions guide you safely through this complex process, which combines technical understanding and craftsmanship. Background information The U
