• HISTORY OF RED DRAGON CHINESE JUNK: AN EXOTIC WOODEN SHIP MODEL Discover the Red Dragon, a wooden model ship of this Chinese junk. Still in use in many parts of Southeast Asia, these boats were used for both war and for trade. The precious junks, typical of the China Sea, were used by leaders of the time such as Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, who used them to try to conquer Japan during the 13th century.

• The appearance of the junks is documented about 600 BC. The hull has no keel and has a short stern. Its sails are made of thick fabric reinforced with reeds, which provides great stability and propulsion. It was one of the most used boats by pirates off the coast of Southeast Asia.

• The historian Herbert Warington Smyth recorded the great virtues of the junk, estimating that it had the most efficient naval design because it handled well with the worst weather conditions of the seas and with the difficult inland waterways. RED DRAGON SHIP MODEL BUILDING KIT Build your 1:60 scale model of the Red Dragon, a Chinese junk. Its construction system using false keel and frames brings the assembly of your model closer to the construction of the actual ship.

• Once built, the model measures 18.89'' (480mm) length, 5.11'' (130mm) width and 17.32'' (440mm) height. Red Dragon modeling kit includes laser cut board parts, hardwood, brass, die-cast and fabric.

After years of building 1/48 airplanes, I decided to try a ship model. I chose this Fletcher class destroyer because it was 1/350 scale. As I have gotten older (79) it is more difficult to deal with really small pieces. At 1/350 they were not too small. I thought this ship model was a good place to start.
