The customs cutter Alert was used on the coasts of the United States to prosecute smugglers. For this reason it was also equipped with a large sails and a wedge-shaped deep keel to be able to sail faster and higher at the wind. In the middle of the ship on deck the Alert is equipped with a revolving carronade with all accessories, which gives a very nice historical view of the work on board at that time.
This kit is both relatively simple in its construction, but contains many interesting details, so that you can make a real museum piece out of it. Some medals have already been won by the builders with this kit. Nevertheless, this project can also be tackled by beginners, as the building plan and building instructions are very detailed.
The kit contains all frames, the keel and many plywood parts already cut out with a laser beam. The slat material and the round bars for masts and trees are of selected quality. The set of fittings contains the castings such as gun barrel, oarlocks, anchors and the blocks and yarn for the rigging. Various parts are also etched from brass. The carefully designed construction plan with detailed building instructions leaves no questions unanswered. The basics for beginners are also covered in detail.
