Sailing Ships⇢ 94 models

Sailing ship model kits

Kits of famous sailing ships: galleons, frigates, clippers, barques and ships of the line, including historic ships of explorers and navies. Building a sailing ship with its masts and rigging is one of the most rewarding projects in ship modeling.

Sailing Ships in the Modelki catalog: 94 scale models. All of them are model kits for assembly and painting.

The most common scales are 1/150, 1/200 and 1/350. Materials: plastic. Models by Revell, Heller, Trumpeter and Aoshima.

Choosing a scale

Sailing ship kits come in scales from 1:60 to 1:350. Larger scales such as 1:96–1:150 allow detailed rigging, sails and deck fittings and make impressive display pieces; smaller scales are faster to build and take up less space. Before buying, check the finished length in the product description and plan where the model will stand.

Materials

Diecast models are cast from zinc alloy and finished with plastic parts; they are durable and often have opening parts. Resin models are made in smaller batches, which allows rare and unusual vehicles to be produced with fine detail, but they usually have no opening parts and should be handled with care. Plastic kits are supplied as unpainted parts that the modeler assembles, glues and paints.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to build a model kit?

Usually plastic cement (glue for polystyrene), paints, brushes, a hobby knife, sprue cutters and sandpaper. The instructions in the box list the paint colors; glue and paints are usually sold separately.

How difficult is it to build a kit?

It depends on the number of parts and the scale. Kits with fewer parts and snap-fit kits are good for beginners, while large kits with photo-etched parts and detailed interiors are for experienced modelers.

How do I find a specific model?

Use the filters by scale, make and manufacturer, or search by model name. Each product page lists the scale, manufacturer, material and catalog number.
