French Carronade Wooden Model Kit – MANTUA (MA800)

The French Naval Cannon Model Kit is manufactured by Mantua Models. Mantua has built its reputation on elaborately detailed model kits. Their model kits use photo-etched brass, cast metal fittings, cast metal and machined turned brass fittings. The detail in their range of wooden model kits is exceptional.

This Carronade was built by the French following the style of the English developed a century before. The screwed site, the stronger breech & gun carriage running track, made the French Carronade more efficient. The gun was placed on first and second rate vessels like the Toulonnaise.
