OcCre Montañés – advanced ship-of-the-line with Spanish naval prestige
OcCre Montañés is a wooden model ship kit in 1/70 scale, representing one of the finest examples of Spanish shipbuilding. The vessel reflects the high level reached by Spanish naval architecture at a time when Spanish ships of the line could match those of any navy in the world.
For retailers, Montañés is a clear prestige product. Its figurehead is not the royal lion, but a montañés, a highlander, in gratitude for the financial contribution made by the mountain people toward its construction. Launched in Ferrol in 1794, the ship took part in several battles including Trafalgar, giving the model a story that combines national pride, naval power and a dramatic end in a storm off the Bay of Cádiz.
With 7578 parts and an estimated build time of around 1000 hours, Montañés is aimed at customers looking for a truly extensive and advanced project. Its scale of work, Trafalgar connection and elegant yet powerful ship-of-the-line profile make it a strong premium choice for assortments aimed at experienced model builders and collectors.
