1:72 Zvezda 8514 Greek Trireme - Sailing Ship Plastic Model kit

Bring the fascinating maritime history of antiquity to life with the Zvezda 8514 Greek Trireme - Sailing Ship in 1:72 scale. This detailed plastic model kit allows you to recreate one of the most famous warships of classical Greek history. The trireme played an important role during the Greco-Persian Wars in the 5th century BC and formed the backbone of the ancient Greek fleets. The vessel was designed for speed and manoeuvrability, propelled by oarsmen arranged across three levels. Its distinctive bronze-covered ram allowed it to disable enemy vessels by damaging their hulls. Thanks to its slender design and exceptional agility, the trireme was particularly effective in the tactical naval battles that shaped the history of the Mediterranean.

A Greek trireme was typically around 37 metres long and carried a crew of approximately 200 men, including around 170 oarsmen, sailors and soldiers. During battle, the vessel relied mainly on oar power, while sails were used for longer voyages. With the Zvezda 8514, you can recreate this remarkable combination of rowing vessel and sailing ship in impressive detail. The model features the characteristic long hull, rows of oars, masts and sail arrangement. The ram and other historical ship details also contribute to an authentic representation of classical Greek shipbuilding. The plastic components are supplied with assembly instructions and decals for finishing. Modelling glue and paints are required separately. An appealing project for enthusiasts of historical ships, ancient civilisations and maritime dioramas.
