1:72 Zvezda 8514 Greek Trireme - Sailing Ship Plastic Model kit
Bring the naval power of antiquity to life with the 1:72 Zvezda 8514 Greek Trireme. This iconic warship, famous from the Greco-Persian Wars (5th–4th century BC), was the dominant vessel of the Mediterranean. Its distinctive bronze-plated ram allowed it to disable enemy ships by breaking their oars or ramming directly into their hulls.
Measuring up to 42 meters in length, the trireme carried more than 200 crew members, including 150–180 rowers and heavily armed hoplites. In battle, it relied primarily on oars for speed and maneuverability, while for long voyages it used its large square sail and smaller bow sail. Its relatively low hull made it both faster and more resistant to crosswinds compared to its Persian and Phoenician rivals.
This Zvezda kit faithfully recreates the legendary Greek trireme, complete with oars, sails, and authentic historical details for dioramas and collections.
