Beautiful model of famous sailing ship - tea clipper. The ship became famous in the race from China to England, where she carried tea for several years. There were even bets in London as to which ship would be the first to sail from China and bring back a shipment of tea from the new crop. She won that race too. Now this last tea clipper sits in dry dock in Greenwich, near London. During repairs and preservation of the ship a few years ago, there was a major fire and the hull was badly damaged. Nevertheless, support for this ship has been raised again and the fundraising, which was very successful, has again funded the restoration. This culminated in the reopening of the ship itself to visitors in May 2012.
It's a nice alternative if you don't have the space at home to have a 1:96 scale model. The kit also includes plans, ladders made of thin plastic, almost like threads, and a flag. When compared to Revell's 1:96 scale model, there is very little detail missing from the ship, which is not often the case when comparing the same ships in a different scale.
