Woody Joe 1/70 Oshinobu Maru Wooden Model Assembly Kit
The Oshinobu Maru was a topsail schooner (modified into a brigantine the following year) modeled after an American cod fishing boat, with a gross tonnage of 162 tons.
Built in February 1909, with auxiliary engines installed in March 1913, it continued its 26th training voyage over the course of approximately 18 years until August 1926, primarily in the Sea of Okhotsk and waters near Japan, covering 50,000 nautical miles (1 nautical mile is 1,852 meters) with over 200 students on board.
After completing its service at Hokkaido University, it was transferred to the Japan Junior Scout League and renamed the Giyuuwani Maru, becoming a training ship for the maritime department.
The name "Oshinobu Maru" was proposed by Professor Yoshisaburo Endo at the time, and was named by President Shosuke Sato. It was derived from the lyrics of the folk song "Esashi Oiwake Honuta."
The keel and frame, which form the ship's skeletal structure, have been completely redesigned. The box structure maintains the ship's exterior shape, resulting in a distortion-free hull that's easy to assemble.
Laser processing has significantly improved processing precision.
The assembly instructions have also been completely revised for easier reading, and the cloth sails and etched parts have also been redesigned.
