Alfred was converted from a merchantman into a light frigate and became the first flagship of the new Continental Navy in 1775, flying the Grand Union flag of the United Colonies. This was John Paul Jones' first command.

The kit is for well experienced modelers. It is a solid hull kit and has all the challenges of square riggers. The instruction book is a textbook on the details of 18th century naval design and outfitting based on the research of Larry Arnot.

After being launched in New York in 1851, the America crossed the Atlantic and challenged the entire fleet of England's Royal Yacht Squadron. She won, and was awarded a silver trophy that was to become known as the America's Cup, the most cherished prize in the world of sailing.

This is a plank-on-frame kit, and for advanced modelers only. The interior framework is meticulously detailed, and you can use your own imagination and omit some of the exterior planking to show this fine detail.

Built in 1903, the sleek, black, steel-hulled ATLANTIC not only won the prestigious trans-Atlantic race...she set a record for a sailing vessel, unbeaten until 1997, of 12 days, 4 hours, 1 minute and 19 seconds. Powered by a steam auxiliary engine, she sported a special low-drag propeller and a folding funnel, both of which were removed for racing.

An updated version of the original Boucher kit, designed in 1934, BlueJacket's new ATLANTIC has a machine-carved basswood hull, finely-cast Britannia pewter and etched brass fittings, wood, sheet styrene and all other needed materials. The clearly written instructions and the redrawn plans make it easy for even the less experienced modeler to produce a striking and impressive model.

BlueJacket's U.S.S. CONSTITUTION kit is the flagship of their model fleet. Depicted as she appeared during her most glorious years, 1812-1815, she has been updated for the ship's 200th birthday by designer Larry Arnot, incorporating the latest findings from his on-going research.

Launched in 1797, the CONSTITUTION spent more time at sea and won more battles during her 58 years in front-line service than any other American warship. Her achievements in combat during the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812 earned her the nickname "Old Ironsides," even though her hull was constructed of wood.

Larry Arnot, author of both the plans and the instructions in their kit, spent years researching and studying the CONSTITUTION. Using the archives of the U.S.S. Constitution Museum, he examined ancient repair records and invoices, studied the ship's logs, interviewed the ship's maintenance crew, and took countless measurements on board to create a model of the CONSTITUTION as she was during her most outstanding years. He was so successful that this kit was named "The Official Kit of the U.S.S. Constitution Museum."

The carved basswood hull is solid to the gundeck, which leaves you two decks to completely fit out! You may wish to leave off some of the spar deck planking so the ship's interior will be open to view. An extra planking set is available below for planking above the gun deck.

The kit contains over 2,600 fittings of brass and Britannia pewter. They include: boarding pikes, 12 photo-etched crewsheads, 7 photo-etched brass gratings, 18 swivel guns, a 10 piece set of pewter quarter galleries, 54 guns and carronades with carriages, a photo-etched brass transom with 17 cast ornaments...the list goes on and on. The 120 page instruction book contains over 100 line drawings and photographs, plus notes on every aspect of the ship and its construction. You receive 20 different sizes of scale rigging cord and a full set of detailed plans (3 sheets)

If you wish to sheath the hull below the water line with copper plating, scale plates are available with 104 diamond-shaped spikeheads photo-etched onto each plate for unmatched realism. These plates have a dull finish, so there is no need to spray them. Sold in packages of 300 (covers approx. 40 sq"), it will take approximately 10 packs for the CONSTITUTION.

The four-piper U.S.S. Ward was the first American ship to sink an enemy vessel in WWII. Her sister ship, U.S.S. Reuben James, was the first U>S> destroyer lost in action. H.M.S. Campbelltown rammed the dry dock gates in the dramatic raid on St. Nazaire. Of the 273 four-pipers built, no two were exactly the same even though their distinctive silhouette made them unmistakable.

This is a solid hull kit for advanced modelers.

John Kennedy's PT-109 is the one we all remember, but over 800 PT Boats were built. These sleek and deadly wooden boats served in both the Pacific and Atlantic theaters. BlueJacket's kit is designed by author and model builder Dr. Al Ross, and portrays a typical 1942 80' Elco PT Boat. This kit is recommended for intermediate to advanced builders. You should determine in advance whether to use a gray paint scheme for the European theater or green camouflage for Pacific island hopping, because the construction method involves painting each subassembly before putting the whole boat together.

This is a solid hull kit with a large number of very small parts, and delicate detailing is required. It is recommended for intermediate or advanced builders.

Launched in 1881 in Belfast, Me. the Gorham was built for the coastal trade, carrying lumber and other cargo from New England to southern ports. BlueJacket built and finished a model of this ship for the grandson of the captain when she was "lost at sea with all hands."

This is a solid hull kit for the intermediate builder, and is an unusual and interesting subject for any modeler with her off center main mast, centerboard and shallow draft.

In July of 1861, the Confederate Navy began converting the partly-burned hull of the captured Union wooden steam frigate MERRIMACK to an ironclad.
Rechristened VIRGINIA, she set forth in March, 1862 to do battle against the blockading U.S. Navy fleet, eventually meeting her match, the MONITOR
The kit contains a pre-carved hull of basswood, accurate plans, a detailed instruction manual, finely cast BlueJacket Britannia pewter fittings, and all the other parts you'll need.

Designed and built by John Ericsson, the U.S.S. MONITOR became the model for an entire class of 60 gunboats, now know generically as "monitors." Her unique low hull, presenting a small target, was sheathed in 1" iron plate. The rotating gun turret permitted firing in all directions while underway.
BlueJacket's kit contains detailed comprehensive instructions, accurate plans, a pre-carved hull of basswood, a history of the vessel, etched brass and cast fittings, plus all the wood required to complete the model,

JEFFERSON DAVIS was one of the most famous of the swift patrol vessels. She is one of the Campbell class of 14 revenue cutters which has been described as the "ultimate Baltimore clipper," square topsail schooners.

This is a plank-on-frame model for well experienced modelers. The rugged 1/4" basswood frames are closely spaced as in actual ship construction allowing plenty of bearing surface for a smooth planking job. The frames are pre-beveled to ensure easy clamping and a fair lay to the planking. This is an impressive and beautiful model.

The LACKAWANNA worked the East Coast, pulling barges of coal from Pennsylvania to the industrial centers to the south and the northeast. She was painted white to show off the clean burning qualities of the hard anthracite coal she burned, and her yacht-like appearance made her stand out among her fellow workboats.
BluJackets's Lackawanna represents the state of the art in kit manufacturing. From the pre-carved basswood hull to the specially designed photo-etched brass pilothouse and deck plates, cast brass ventilators and propeller, accuracy and quality have been the primary concerns. With a 20 page instruction book and over 40 fine Britannia metal castings, wood, rigging cord and decorative flags, this kit will let you produce one of the most interesting small steamer models we have ever seen.

In this struggle for piloting fees, the schooner Mary Taylor was a formidable contender, as she was unusually fast - - no wonder, since she was designed by George Steers, who later made history as the designer of the most famous yacht in the world...America!

BlueJacket's kit is a revised (and rescaled) version of a 1/8" scale kit last sold by BlueJacket in the early 1980's. Now in 3/16" scale, it is an excellent small model for the less experienced builder, providing an interesting subject for any modeler.

The kit includes full sized plans, complete instructions, a pre-carved basswood hull, photo-etched brass and finely-cast Britannia pewter fittings, colorful laser-printed flags, rigging line and all the other materials you need to complete a beautiful model of this handsome little schooner.

BlueJacket's model is based on the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien, the surviving (and functional) LIBERTY that recently saw action at the 50th anniversary of D_Day. With a pre-carved basswood hull and all other parts and essential materials of the highest quality, the kit makes a rewarding project for the builder with some experience with models of modern ships.

Noted warship historian and modeler Alan Raven has done a fine job creating precisely drawn plans and a clearly written instruction manual.

A stirring reminder of action at sea, U.S.S. Kidd is the epitome of all Fletcher-class destroyers, the foremost type of destroyer in World War II. She incorporated many improvements over the earlier Fletchers, making her the most efficient and effective vessel of the destroyer fleet. After proving her abilities, she joined Task Force 58 for the invasion of Okinawa, bombarding key targets, sinking floating mines, providing warning of air raids, and shooting down kamikazes.

The late professional modeler and historian Allen Baker chose carefully when he selected the square-bridged KIDD for his exact replica. Because the KIDD carried every weapon ever put onboard a Fletcher in World War II, this kit allows you to build the Fletcher-class destroyer of your choice!

We believe this is the most accurate and comprehensive World War II naval model available. BlueJacket supplies everything required to build the U.S.S. KIDD except paint, glue, and tools.

You receive precisely drawn plan sheets, a pre-carved basswood hull, handmade basswood superstructures, 200 finely-cast britannia pewter fittings, 175 photo-etched brass parts, plus a clearly written 30-page instruction booklet. This model can easily be built in a small space.

An exciting and rewarding project for intermediate and advanced modelers.

RED JACKET was probably the best known and most beautiful of the extreme clippers launched in 1853 (the golden year of the clippership era). Proof of the fine sailing ability of RED JACKET is the fact that she is one of only 10 sailing ships to ever exceed a passage of over 400 nautical miles made good in a 24 hour time period. On her maiden voyage she set a record for commercial sailing vessels which stands to this day, New York to Liverpool in 13 days, 1 hour and 25 minutes.

BlueJacket's kit is designed for expert modelers. Her plans are the finest available, based upon the most current research. The kit contains their famous carved hull, along with a great deal of etched brass, pewter fittings, etc.
