SANTISIMA TRINIDAD WOODEN KIT 1/84 SCALE ARTESANIA

Santísima Trinidad 1:84 Wooden Ship Model Kit – Artesania Latina (22901) A monumental four?deck warship recreated with exceptional historical accuracy. The Largest Warship of Its Time The Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad was one of the most formidable and imposing vessels ever built. Originally armed with 120 guns and later expanded to 144, this four?deck Spanish warship earned the nickname “El Escorial de los Mares” for its immense size and grandeur.
