Hanse Cog 1:72 Construction Kit

Hanse Cog Building Kit

The Hanseatic cog is a sailing ship of the Hanseatic League from the 14th century. These cogs were primarily used for trade and in times of military conflict of the Hanseatic cities, especially with pirates, they were equipped with forts and sometimes cannons for protection. The cog usually has a mast and a square sail. Just below or at the top of the mast they had a so-called crow's nest as a lookout. Depending on the equipment, they had an aft fort and from the 14th century often a bow fort for better defense.

The new Krick kit, designed by Daniel Dusek, contains 2 forts, a horizontal capstan and a main capstan as well as a dinghy and cargo lashed to the deck. The planks for the clinker planking are already laser cut and the frames include the gradations for the clinker planking, so planking is not a major hassle. All accessories are laser cut or are included in the kit as etched brass parts. It also includes the planking strips for the deck, pre-printed flags for various Hanseatic cities, the fabric for the sail, and enough rigging twine for all the rigging. A detailed construction plan and detailed instructions with sketches help with assembly, which should be no problem even for inexperienced modelers.
