One of the most powerful fighting ships of her day, HMS Prince, or the Royal Prince as she was sometimes referred to, was a 100-gun ‘first rate’ ship of the line and the initial flagship of the Lord High Admiral of the Royal Navy, the Duke of York. 

Launched in December 1670, she was never too far away from significant naval actions, suffering damage on several occasions and having to undergo rebuild at least twice. 

This spectacular ship from the golden age of sail was eventually broken up in 1813, at the end of an impressive service career. Luckily, you can now rebuild her, thanks to this exciting Airfix model kit. 

This 1:180 scale sailing ship model kit is part of our Vintage Classics range.
