Model Shipways USS Constitution Cross-Section 1797 Wood Model

Welcome to what is arguably the most detailed model kit of the USS Constitution ever produced. This version of the kit represents the latest restoration of Old Ironsides now berthed in Boston Harbor. Our kit is entirely built with 5mm bulkhead and false keel plywood framework, then planked in basswood; the modeler's choice of fine-grained hardwood. Fittings are made of cast Brittania metal (lead-free), photo-etched parts, brass strips, brass belaying pins, and walnut blocks, and dead eyes. Rigging is jewelry quality, non-stretch nylon made in Germany and is provided in both light brown and black in 6 sizes to represent scale running and standing rigging. Plans and 96 pages of detailed step by step instructions take you from what appears to be a challenging build to a legacy-satisfying monument to your passion for building beautiful, historically accurate models. A perfect, same scale complement to our MS2040 USS Constitution kit in the scale of 1:76.

Model Builder

This model would be Much better if the instructions were also much better! The model is reasonably accurate as compared to the actual ship in the Boston Harbor. There are discrepancies with the instructions and the drawings related to part numbers and number of parts. It is necessary to read ahead and plan the work, many activities are not in the correct sequence. The installation of the Lower Main Yard and all the necessary associated rigging was found to be the most complex, especially when the instructions require much addition information to accurately complete the installation. This builder had to make many parts during the entire build.

A bashed kit

I completed the MS USS Constitution several years ago, and wanted this cross section to go with it. When I built the full ship, I modified it (bashed it) to represent the ship as she was in 1812. This kit and the full ship kit have her as she appeared after the 1927 restoration. I bashed this kit, so the cross section represents the ship as she was in 1812. As always, MS kits are absolutely the best in the business with great instructions and materials.
