Airfix 55114A Small Starter Set Mary Rose 1/400 – plastic model sailing ship

The Airfix 55114A Small Starter Set Mary Rose in 1/400 scale is a unique offering for fans of sailing ships and the history of the British Royal Navy. The set allows you to build a faithful replica of the famous warship Mary Rose, which was one of the most important ships in King Henry VIII's fleet, serving as an icon of England's naval power during the Renaissance.

The Mary Rose was launched in 1511 and served in the Royal Navy until 1545. She took part in numerous conflicts, including the defense of the English coast against the French fleet during the Italian Wars (Early Modern period). The ship sank spectacularly before the king's eyes during the Battle of the Solent in 1545, and her remains were recovered from the sea only in 1982. Reconstructing the Mary Rose is not only a treat for historians but also a unique modeling challenge for all those who value authenticity and the educational value of models.
