The Mamoli MV53 (often cataloged as MV53 or MV55) is a masterful recreation of the most feared commerce raider of the American Civil War. Built in secrecy by John Laird Sons & Co. in Liverpool, the CSS Alabama was a sophisticated "screw sloop-of-war" that combined the speed of steam with the endurance of sail.
This 1:120 scale kit is designed for the experienced modeler, offering a complex build that captures the unique silhouette of a 19th-century hybrid warship.
Length 28" Height 14"
Note on Wood Types and Finishes
Mamoli kits were originally designed and produced in Italy, and their instructions and plans reference several traditional European woods such as Acero, Tanganica, Tulipier, Walnut, Ramin (Ramino), Mahogany (Mogano), Movingui, etc. Since the brand’s acquisition by the renowned Czech model-kit manufacturer Dusek and the subsequent production of Mamoli kits in the USA by Model Expo, many of these wood types have been replaced with high-quality Basswood.
Basswood offers excellent workability and is ideal for shaping, sanding, and finishing. In the original Mamoli designs, many of the European woods were later stained, conditioned, or painted with solid colors, making Basswood a suitable and reliable substitute. For builders wishing to replicate the intended tones and finishes, we recommend exploring the Model Shipways / Model Expo paint and stain catalog, where you will find a wide selection of stains, conditioners, and paints to achieve the historically accurate or desired appearance

Dogs give the Y a 10 out of 10!
It seems like all dogs love these Y bones. It is not messy and its a dog favorite. Paid for many Y bones in the store but it is a little more going to a pet store. So tried online. Didn't disappoint! Cant have enough in my pantry. 😀

My Dog Loves It, But Be Careful
My dog absolutely loves the Benebone Wishbone Chew Toy—he gets so excited every time I bring it out. It’s clearly made for aggressive chewers and is very durable, but he often ends up hurting his teeth while chewing on it. I wish it were a bit gentler on his mouth. Great for keeping dogs entertained, just watch out if your pup has sensitive teeth.

My dogs LOVE these over the leading brand!
My dogs LOVE these chew bones! They will chew on these things for 30 minutes straight. They will dig them out from the dog basket, or whine at the door if they left it outside. I ended up having to get all 4 of my dogs each their own it was so popular. The white bone in the picture is the from the leading brand and you can see which one they go for, lol. They've had these bones for 6 weeks now and chew on them daily, and multiple times throughout the day. If your dog is a chewed or puppy, definitely give these a try!

Terrific! Much easier to use than Kongs and my dog loves it.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
I like these so much better than the original Kongs. The large opening makes it so much easier to put peanut butter or cream cheese into it. Plus much easier to clean out afterwards.
My dog also likes to chew it and play with it throwing it in the air after he’s done eating the peanut butter. Very sturdy - he chews apart stuffed toys but his chewing hasn’t damaged this at all.
I highly recommend this product!

Great for strong chewing dogs. Entertaining too!
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
My black lab can destroy the toughest of dog chew toys, but he's not destroyed this peanut. I fill it with peanut butter, yogurt, pumpkin or apple sauce and freeze it. It keeps him entertained for quite a while. When the filling is gone, he leaves it alone or carries it around begging for a filled one.
