History of the Chinese Pirate Junk

The last thing a clipper ship, loaded with tea and spices, wanted to see was a Chinese Pirate Junk, bristling with cannons. Junks such as this dotted the rivers and harbours of China and Hong Kong, and it was often impossible to tell whether or not they belonged to merchants or pirates until it was to late. This highly effective model differs from a merchant junk for its weaponry, consisting of 8 small calibre canons. This ship model kit is single planked.
