Ancient Naval Scale 1:1200
The models are of the cataphract and aphract type. With the cataphract design, oarsmen were protected on the sides and above from missile fire. With the aphract design, they were unprotected, unless by a leather screen along the side of the ship.

Kits contain separate sterns, masts, sails etc. Detail has been deeply etched and oar banks have been stylised so that individual oars may be highlighted and the sea between painted.

Please note that some hulls are cast in resin (where indicated *). All other castings are white metal.alloy.

There is usually a choice of furled or set sail(s). Please specify choice when ordering.
