For those wishing to create a fully framed ship model, but with limited scratch building experience, Admiralty Models has developed a cross-section package. Building our model of Echo will expose you to the techniques and skills required to progress to a fully framed Swan or Echo class model. A midships slice of Echo has been chosen for this model.
This is available as a free download on our Tips page.
