New Bedford Whaling Ship (Sailing Ship) 1/200

Academy 14204 - New Bedford Whaling Ship

Academy 14204 – New Bedford Whaling Ship in 1/200 scale is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing a classic American 19th-century whaling vessel inspired by ships from New Bedford, the center of the U.S. whaling industry. These sailing ships were used for long voyages across the world’s oceans in search of whale oil.

The kit includes detailed hull, masts, rigging, deck equipment, whaleboats, and authentic decals, making it ideal both as a standalone display model and as part of historical maritime dioramas.

The finished model measures approximately 45.0–50.0 cm in length, providing an impressive and accurate 1/200 scale representation.

The model comes unpainted and unassembled, offering full creative freedom to recreate authentic wood and sail color schemes from the 19th century. Vallejo Model Color is recommended — for example, 70.983 Flat Earth, 70.984 Flat Brown, and 70.912 Tan Yellow for wood surfaces, 70.820 Offwhite for sails, and 70.950 Black for details and accents.

Glue and paints not included.
