Revell 05660 Santa Maria (Easy-Click) 1/350 – Plastic model kit

The presented product is the Revell 05660 Santa Maria (Easy-Click) in 1/350 scale – an excellent plastic model kit, perfect for both beginners and intermediate modelers. This kit replicates the famous carrack Santa Maria, the flagship of Christopher Columbus during his historic discovery voyage in 1492. The construction of the Santa Maria originated in Castile, and this vessel has become a symbol of the Age of Great Geographical Discoveries.

The original Santa Maria was used by Christopher Columbus and his crew during their groundbreaking journey across the Atlantic, aiming to find a maritime route to India. This historic voyage led to the discovery of the New World for Europe—an event that forever changed the course of history. The Santa Maria was used in the 15th century, specifically in the years 1492–1493, by the Spanish royal court. Historical reconstructions and illustrations suggest that it was a typical early-modern-era carrack, characterized by a high aftcastle and large sail area.
