OcCre HMS Beagle – classic expedition model with a strong Darwin connection
OcCre HMS Beagle is a wooden model ship kit in 1/60 scale that highlights one of the most recognisable vessels in exploration and natural history. The model carries a powerful story around HMS Beagle’s research voyage under Commander Robert FitzRoy, with the young Charles Darwin on board, making it easy for retailers to communicate to both model builders and history-minded customers.
For retailers, HMS Beagle offers a clear premium feel within traditional ship modelling. Its connection to exploration, science and Darwin’s second voyage gives the kit more depth than a standard sailing ship model. This makes it well suited to assortments where customers look for detailed wooden kits with historical weight and a decorative finished result.
With 5095 parts and an estimated build time of around 480 hours, HMS Beagle provides an extensive project for committed hobby builders. The finished length of 720 mm gives the model strong presence in-store and online, while the included personalised wooden plaque, basic construction support and sails make it easy to present as a complete and attractive ship model for collectors, gift buyers and experienced builders.
