Hi guys, it’s Modelship Dockyard here. Since the establishment of this brand, we have made numerous attempts in the field of frigates, especially English frigates. This includes our previously released PoF HMS Blandford, PoB Pandora, as well as some upcoming frigate projects. We believe that we have accumulated a wealth experience and are now proud to present this latest kit: 1:96 H.M.S Enterprize 1774 PoF.
The Enterprize was a 28-gun sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. This class of frigate was extensively used in the American region, particularly in the Caribbean, to counter local privateers. For example, the Enterprize successfully captured a 22-gun American privateer in the area in 1782. Of course, these frigates also carried out missions in European waters, engaging in battles against French and Spanish ships. The image below shows a scene of the H.M.S. Fox, a frigate of the Enterprize class, engaging a French frigate in 1778.
This class of frigate, known for its excellent maneuverability, cost-effectiveness, and versatile nature, saw the construction of a total of 27 ships. Additionally, many similar but not same lines frigates were also built during this era. It can be said that the Enterprize represents the epitome of frigates during this time period. Below is a drawing of a Admiralty style HMS Enterprize PoF model, to give modellers better understanding of the ship.
