Fifie Model Kit
A vessel from Scotland’s east coast, the sailing Fife was once the cornerstone of the herring industry. The crews sailing these boats would brave all weathers to bring home the ‘Silver Darlings’ - the herring fish upon which their livelihoods depended. Rigged with enormous red ochre lugsails, these ships could be in excess of 70’ (21m) in length, and could catch up to a quarter of a million fish in one trip.
This small laser-cut display model of fifie ‘Reaper’ has been designed and made entirely in Scotland, and is simple enough to be built in 20 minutes. It is unpainted, but comes with glue, sails, detailed assembly instructions, and painting guidelines. It's to an approximate scale of 1:190, and comes in at 124mm long. Due to its small parts, it is not a toy, and shouldn't be given to small children.
