Academy 1/350 Cutty Sark: Precision Clipper Model

The Academy 1/350 Cutty Sark model presents a precise miniature of the famous clipper, with parts engineered for a faithful assembly. The kit highlights the vessel's slender hull and detailed decking for a realistic end result.

Significance and Model Accuracy

As one of the last tea clippers, launched in 1869, the Cutty Sark is remembered for speed and construction. This model reproduces the ship's distinctive silhouette and rigging layout so builders can display an accurate period piece at 1/350 scale.

Construction Notes

Building this kit demands steady hands and attention to small details. Careful preparation of parts, trial fits, and patient painting will reward you with crisp seams and convincing rigging when complete.

Finished Piece Appeal

Finished, the model makes a striking display item thanks to its intricate rigging and deck fittings. It suits collectors who enjoy assembling and exhibiting historically inspired ship models.

Specifications

  • Model scale: 1/350
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
Build time varies by skill and detail level, but expect several evenings to a few weekends for a careful, fully finished model.
You can assemble the kit unpainted, but painting greatly enhances realism and helps bring out hull and deck detail.
There are generic detailing parts and thread kits available from hobby suppliers for those who want finer rigging or photo-etched fittings, but check compatibility before buying.
