OcCre Apóstol Felipe – silver galleon with Spanish trade and naval history
OcCre Apóstol Felipe is a wooden model kit in 1/60 scale, representing one of the six galleons built by Martín de Arana for King Felipe IV. The ship formed part of the so-called Silver Galleons and was used to transport goods and treasures on the route connected with the Race for the Indies.
For retailers, Apóstol Felipe combines the visual impact of a grand galleon with a clear historical function. Its first voyage as part of the galleon fleet took place in 1629, transporting treasures to Spain, and the ship also served as an admiral vessel before taking part in the war of Brazil and carrying troops and money to Flanders.
With 4071 parts and an estimated build time of around 550 hours, Apóstol Felipe is a substantial project for customers looking for a larger historical ship model. The combination of silver routes, naval conflict and 17th-century Spanish history makes it especially relevant for assortments where detail, drama and collector value are important selling points.
