Flagship Models next model is now shipping. It's the CSS Manassas,
known as a "turtleback" ram. Converted from a tug, the Manassas was an
almost indestructable design because of her low profile at the
waterline. Combine that with her round configuration and she had a hull
that almost no weapon could penetrate at the time. Of course she was
sunk, but after running aground and after being pummeled by enemy fire.

The kit includes computer drawn instructions, decals for flags, two
piece hull, resin, white metal and photo etched parts.  The Manassas
along with more American Civil War warships can be purchased through
our web site (URL below).
