New kit 1:160 midship cross-section of the HMS Enterprise 1774

Unicorn models said:
Hi guys, this is Unicorn Model and I bring you a new kit, a 1:160 midship cross-section model of the HMS Enterprise frigate designed by my colleagues. Perhaps some of you have already seen the stern cross-section of the Enterprise, which has a longer and more complex midship section compared to stern, and also carries three boats. Although it is miniature size, its details are remarkably rich, including every deck structure and cabins, as well as extremely tiny metal parts such as guns, hammock cranes, ladder stanchions, etc., there are many jigs in the kit, which are convenient for the making and fitting of small parts, but you must be very careful, because the parts are very weak and easy to break, This is a work that challenges one's own hands.

The stern section is already in a drawer of my building desk as a future build. For sure this midship section will come a wait there as a next-future build.

The issue for USA are the tariffs. If I am correct we will need to add a 50%, shipped from China. All your kits are shipped from China , Will you be able to ship it from Canada ? The Tariffs are smaller for Canada.

Thank you !!!

Thats not how it works.The tariff is $25% and it does not matter where it is shipped from,the Country of Origin matters
