A historical ship model to build at 1/40 scale

The model Escampavía PILAR 1865 from ANFORA MODEL KITS is a wooden shipbuilding kit reproducing an old Spanish maritime surveillance ship.

Referenced under number 40102, this assembly model allows for a faithful reproduction in its main lines of a 19th-century steam coast guard.

With its 1/40 scale, the finished model measures 38 cm in length and 13 cm in height.

Its elongated silhouette, elegant hull, wooden cabin, central chimney, and deck equipment give it a characteristic appearance of the small maritime surveillance units of that era.

The escampavía PILAR: a Spanish coastal surveillance ship

In the 19th century, Spain developed means of monitoring its coastline to combat smuggling and control maritime activities.

The escampavías are small boats assigned to patrol, assistance, and coastal surveillance missions.

These ships play a role in controlling the movement of goods and combating illicit trafficking.

The PILAR, dated 1865, illustrates this category of maritime service boats, at a time when steam propulsion began to transform navigation and surveillance means.
