Mantua/Sergal 1/50 Nina Christopher Columbus's Caravel 756
The Nima (the Spanish word for "little girl") was one of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage towards the Indies in 1492. The real name of the Nina was Santa Clara. The name Nina was probably a pun on the name of her owner, Juan Nino. She was a caravel-type vessel. The other ships of the Columbus expedition were the caravel Pinta and the Carrack-type Santa Maria. The Nina was by far Columbus' favorite. She was originally lateen sail rigged caravela latina, but she was re-rigged as caravela redonda at Azores with square sails for better ocean performance. There is no authentic documentation on the specifics of the Nina's design. Often said to have had three masts, there is some evidence she may have had four masts.

The kit includes laser cut frames for keel & bulkheads, and exotic wood strip for hull planking. Also included is the wooden deck planking, masts and spars, lost wax castings, and wooden fittings, etched brass detailing, cloth for the sails and flags.
