AIACE Freighter Kit by Mantua Models 1/40

Freighter AIACE from Mantua Models 1/40

Mantua Model 731

This kit is a successful reproduction of a medium-sized Italian freighter that regularly sailed the Mediterranean from the 1930s to the 1980s.

Originally, the 110-foot merchant ship was used to transport general cargo and liquids. This type of vessel was also used as a transport vessel for ships that were too large for the respective port. Thanks to its size, it was able to cover medium distances, but also to call at smaller ports. Thanks to its powerful propulsion, the AIACA could carry up to 800 tons.

Mantua Model's modern building instructions, with their many photos, guide modellers step by step through the various stages of construction right up to completion of the model. The assembly of the sophisticated construction is clearly presented. The entire model and accessory set are made from top-quality materials. The quality of the wood and metal parts is very attractive. They are prefabricated with precision and meet today's standards for a high-quality kit.

The model is supplied with a Ø3x165mm propeller shaft and a Ø5x135mm stern tube, as well as an M3 Ø40mm three-blade plastic propeller.
