USS Olympia Ship Model

USS Olympia all wood kit 32" long scale SP107 - $630.00

In keeping with the overwhelming success of BlueJacket's model of the USS MAINE (a limited edition of 100 kits,)
which completely sold out in a very short time period), BlueJacket has developed a kit of the OLYMPIA, in the same scale as the MAINE,
3/32"=1'. The OLYMPIA was also developed by Al Ross, utilizing the same advanced techniques and materials as the MAINE. i.e. carved laminated bass wood hull, laser cut wood styrene, cast resin, Britannia metal fittings, and etched brass. The model is based upon the original US Navy plans of 1895, and Al's diligent research, which produced a model even showier than the MAINE!

BlueJacket will only produce a numbered, limited edition of 200 kits, in celebration of the start of our second 100 years in business. We are still receiving calls from people who were disappointed in not being able to purchase the MAINE. Purchase your kits of the OLYMPIA now!
