Reale De France 1:60 Scale

Lateen rigged galleys like this one were the backbone of Louis XIV’s Mediterranean fleet. She carried 8.000 square feet of sail and 427 oarsmen. Because of her low hull, water swamped her deck even in slight seas.

Corel’s Reale De France 1:60 Scale kit features double plank-on-bulkhead construction in beech and walnut with pre-cut wooden parts. Stern ornamentation is gilded cast metal. Other decorations are etched brass.

Armament includes five cannon and eleven turned brass falconets. Rigging is supplied in five diameters. Also included are 59 pre-shaped oars, cloth sails, and silk-screened flags. Thirteen sheets of detailed plans plus instruction book show you how to build a magnificent replica that is almost four feet long.

Length 44″ / Height 28″ / Scale 1:60.
