Buying Model Ships: warranties

• • We use the best wood to make our models. The different steaming treatments prevent wood from warping and cracking due to changes in climate.

• • Each model is finished in colours that are identical to those of the original with respect for the materials of the particular time period.

• • Modern vessels are also produced in wood and painted with the original colours. We never use metal and plastic.*

• • At the factory, each production department is subject to random inspections by the Quality Control Manager.
