Technical specifications

This model is offered at a scale of 1/50, with assembled dimensions of approximately 78 cm in length, 15 cm in width, and 65 cm in height for a static version.

The kit includes a laser-cut wooden hull and frame, planks, fittings (rollers, pulleys, anchors, etc.), masts and spars, rigging ropes, as well as detailed plans and assembly instructions.

It features a construction by frames and stringers with clinker planking or traditional plank-on-frame technique.

The original ship, renamed HMS Bounty, was commanded by William Bligh, and in 1789 a mutiny led by Fletcher Christian precipitated an adventure that circled the globe. After leaving England on a mission to transport fruit plants to Tahiti, the crew rebelled, leaving Bligh and 18 loyal men in a launch, while the mutineers returned to Tahiti and then settled on Pitcairn Island. This tragic and heroic tale makes the Bounty a timeless myth.
