Sergal (Mantua Model Group) Cutty Sark, Art. 789 — a large plank-on-frame clipper kit at 1:78 scale. Finished model length per box and plans: 1150 mm (about 45 in.). Laser-cut plywood structure, walnut/lime strip planking, photo-etched brass details, copper hull plating, and brass/walnut fittings in the original Italian blister packs. Made in Italy. Condition: Open box, not factory sealed. Appears unbuilt in our photos — laser-cut parts remain in their sheets and no assembled hull is shown. The box has moderate to heavy shelf wear: scuffed corners and edges, rub-through on the green print, creasing, and staining and old tape marks on the bottom. Completeness not verified: The fitting trays look full, but we have not inventoried parts against the French parts list (booklet pages 7–8). Small items such as wire, the copper plate count, sachet contents, or sail material (if this edition included it) could be missing without our knowledge. Sold as-is; please plan to inventory the kit before building. Instructions: The step-by-step assembly booklet is in French only (“Instructions pour le montage”), as packaged for this export version — it is not a missing English insert. Box and blister labels are multilingual (Italian, English, German, French). Eight large Mantua construction plans (1994, Art. 789) with multilingual title blocks are included; most detail is shown as drawings and part numbers. Some kits sold in other markets came with an English booklet; this one does not. Included as shown in photos: original Sergal box; three blue “Quality Hobby Kits” blister trays (blocks, deadeyes, brass fittings, rigging cord, copper plates, Union Jack flag); laser-cut and sheet wood; strip wood and dowel bundles; photo-etched brass sheet; eight folded construction plans; French assembly booklet. Large, heavy carton — about 38–39 in. long and roughly 9 lb packed. Local pickup in Colorado can be arranged; please inquire before purchasing. An advanced kit for experienced ship modelers.
