Gorch Fock
 
Mantua Model Group have been producing period model boat kits since after the war and were the first company to innovate and use the cutting ability of laser beams to produce very accurate and high quality products.
 
Mantua are also based in Italy and are also able to supply very high quality fittings and building materials for the model boat builder.
 
The Gorch Fock was built in 1932, in Hamburg. She is a three-masted steel barque, with square sails on the fore and main mast, and is gaff-rigged on the mizen. She was launched in May 1933, christened Gorch Fock in honour of the German writer Johann Kinau, who used Gorch Fock as his pseudonym.
 
She was built to replace the German school ship Niobe which capsized in July 1932, leaving the German navy without a training vessel. She can be seen today, serving as a museum ship, in her naval home of Stralsund in Germany.
 
New moulding processes enable our ship model-makers to re-produce the Gorch Fock in wonderful detail. Each model ship comes supplied with a history leaflet, and have a very good level of detail for their size.
 

The kit contains laser cut frames, double planking, dowels, cast & turned brass fittings, wooden laser cut parts & rigging. Building plans & fully detail assembly instructions.
