Model Shipways Mayflower 1620 Wooden Model Ship Kit (1:76 Scale) – Plank-on-Bulkhead Sailing Ship Model Kit – Laser Cut Wood Parts, Metal Fittings & Rigging – Intermediate Level – Made in USA (MS2020)

If you’ve been around ship modeling for a while, you know that some kits come and go. But certain ships stay with us. The Mayflower is one of those ships. In 1620 she carried a small group of passengers across a very large ocean and quietly changed the course of history. Today she remains one of the most recognizable sailing vessels ever built. This Model Shipways kit brings that historic ship to life in a beautifully detailed 1:76 scale wooden model. The design is a modern re-release of a Model Expo favorite first introduced in the late 1950s, now significantly improved with a plank-on-bulkhead hull construction that produces a more realistic shape and a far more satisfying building experience. All structural wood parts are precision laser cut, ensuring excellent fit and easier assembly. The kit also includes a generous fittings package with hardwood blocks and deadeyes, brass details, Britannia metal castings, and multiple diameters of rigging line. Clear plans and illustrated instructions guide you through the build, and if you like learning visually, master modeler Olha Batchvarov’s YouTube building series walks through the construction step by step. When completed, the Mayflower measures 22 inches long and 17 inches high, making it an impressive display piece that reflects both maritime history and the craftsmanship of traditional wooden ship modeling. And because the kit is made in the USA and backed by Model Expo’s lifetime parts replacement guarantee, you can build with confidence knowing help is always available. For modelers who enjoy history, craftsmanship, and the quiet satisfaction of building something with their own hands, the Model Shipways Mayflower is a project well worth undertaking.
