I am selling my Carta Augusto kit of the Royal Sovereign, 1100mm length. This is a very high end kit from the 70s. It is complete and un started, it is in excellent condition. It comes with pre made sails and a new set of Amati plans. The original set of plans are superb and were drawn up with a full scratch build ability, I bought the Amati scratch build plans as for a project like this you can't have enough reference. The plans are so very similar it's as if Amati did a straight photo copy of large sections, I prefer the Augusto plans. There are at a guess over 200 metal castings beautifully done, you could use them as jewellery. A few of the packets have been opened to photograph the castings for a discussion on the merits from different version of S.O.S. some time ago on this site, these were considered the best. They are re sealed and complete. The cannons are machined brass and the carriages are pre made walnut. Their is a full array of flags and plenty of cord and blocks. Some parts need to be fretted out from the ply sheets, it should be considered for experienced builders only, it is now a very rare kit, I doubt if there are any more around.
I would be looking for £325 for it
This is for the UK only, insured delivery would cost around £12.50
I live in the northwest, collection welcome
