The OcCre 1/70 Soleil Royal Limited Edition Model Ship Kit is an exclusive collector's masterpiece, created for discerning model builders and naval history enthusiasts. Limited to just 669 individually numbered kits worldwide, this exceptional release offers true exclusivity, ensuring every model becomes a unique addition to any collection.

Developed over several years by OcCre's master craftsmen, the Soleil Royal has been meticulously researched to achieve outstanding historical accuracy while delivering museum-quality finishes. Built as an authentic arsenal model, the kit faithfully reproduces the construction methods of the original warship, accurately representing the keel, frames, beams, planking and masts using the same structural principles employed by 17th-century shipbuilders.

Unlike conventional ship models, the arsenal construction method allows builders to appreciate the vessel's internal structure as well as its external beauty. Every frame, plank and rigging component has been designed to accurately reflect the original naval architecture, creating both an educational and highly rewarding building experience.

The model showcases exceptional craftsmanship throughout, from its realistic hull planking and historically accurate rigging to the intricate stern carvings, figurehead and decorative mouldings. Premium materials including solid oak, solid mahogany, brass, cast metal and hand-stitched cotton sails combine to produce a true museum-quality display piece.

This limited edition includes several exclusive collector's items including an individually numbered plaque, certificate of authenticity, commemorative collector's coin and a beautifully crafted solid oak display base. These premium additions reinforce the rarity and long-term collectability of this remarkable model.

Representing the legendary flagship of King Louis XIV, the Soleil Royal became one of the most recognisable warships of the seventeenth century. Famous for its magnificent golden ornamentation, immense firepower and service as Admiral Anne Hilarion de Tourville's flagship, the Soleil Royal remains one of history's most celebrated ships of the line.

At Campbelltown Hobbies, the OcCre Soleil Royal Limited Edition offers master model builders an extraordinary opportunity to own and build one of the finest museum-quality wooden ship kits ever produced.
