Cutty Sark, 1/96 - Revell 05422

The Cutty Sark, an iconic clipper

The Cutty Sark is an English sailing ship known for its commercial voyages in the 19th century, particularly in the transport of tea and then wool. Preserved in London as a museum ship, it remains one of the great symbols of the clipper age—these sailing ships were designed for speed on long-distance ocean routes.

A richly detailed naval model

The Revell kit recreates the ship’s sleek silhouette with a hull made in two sections, a wood-look deck, detailed superstructures, cannons on carriages, detailed masts, and sails. The rigging is an integral part of the project thanks to pre-fabricated stays, supplied thread, and the elements intended for its installation.

A lifeboat, rigging pulleys, a display stand, a flags sheet, and waterslide decals are also included. An illustrated, multilingual assembly guide accompanies the build.

Assembly and finishing

At a scale of 1/96, each dimension of the real ship is reduced by a factor of 96. Careful preparation of the parts, painting before fitting certain deck elements, and the step-by-step assembly of the rigging help bring out the many details of the clipper. Using plastic model glue, suitable paints, fine brushes, and precision tools is the right approach for completing the model.
