The Part Everyone Wishes They Could See
Most ship models show you the outside of the ship. This one shows you how she was built. Why spend months planking a massive 48-inch hull when the most fascinating part of "Old Ironsides" is hidden deep inside?
The Model Shipways USS Constitution Cross-Section reveals the decks, framing, cannon batteries, rigging, and internal structure normally concealed beneath layers of hull planking. Based on modern restoration research and documentation from America's most famous warship, this remarkable model offers a rare look into the engineering and craftsmanship that made the USS Constitution a legend.
The result is less a ship model and more a museum exhibit you build yourself.
⚓ All the Detail. Less of the Grind.
Let's be honest: Most builders love looking at a fully rigged Constitution, but not everyone loves spending months planking a massive hull, installing hundreds of feet of repetitive rigging, and trying to find shelf space for a four-foot-long warship.
The Constitution Cross-Section delivers the most visually fascinating part of the ship while eliminating much of the tedious labor. You still get authentic planking, rigging, and wooden ship-modeling techniques. But every hour spent building contributes directly to details that remain completely visible on the finished model.
The Constitution Cross-Section delivers the highest-density "cool factor" of the ship while eliminating
⚓ A View Inside "Old Ironsides"
Unlike traditional ship models, your craftamnship isn't hidden when you're done. The open, cutaway design invites people to lean closer and explore the ship's construction:
Inspect all four complete, historically accurate decks (no shortcuts or missing levels here).
Follow the massive timber framing and internal ladders.
Study the fully detailed cannon batteries and deck furniture.
Most ship models are admired. This one gets studied.
⚓ Based on Modern Restoration Research
This highly detailed cross-section represents the USS Constitution using research derived directly from Navy drawings, photographs, and documentation associated with the ship's actual preservation work in Boston Harbor. It provides a historically flawless glimpse into the architecture of America's most celebrated warship.
Premium Materials Throughout
Every component in the box has been selected to create a museum-quality display piece. Nothing feels generic; everything feels purpose-built:
Precision Laser-Cut Framework: A robust 5mm laser-cut plywood bulkhead and false keel system creates a rigid, commercial-grade foundation that completely prevents warping and maintains perfect alignment throughout construction.
Fine-Grained Basswood Planking: Premium basswood, a favorite among master modelers for its smooth finish, clean workability, and crisp appearance when stained or painted.
Authentic Copper Sheathing: Includes premium self-adhesive copper foil to accurately recreate the protective hull plating that became one of the ship's most recognizable features.
High-Quality Fittings: High-detail cast Britannia metal fittings, photo-etched brass detail sheets, brass belaying pins, and genuine walnut blocks and deadeyes.
Premium Rigging Materials: Jewelry-quality, German-made non-stretch rigging line supplied in multiple sizes and colors to accurately represent standing and running rigging.
Instructions That Actually Guides
Many ship model kits assume you already have a master's degree in 18th-century naval architecture. This one doesn't.
The kit includes:
96 pages of highly detailed, step-by-step, fully illustrated instructions.
5 total sheets of plans, including two full-size plan sheets measuring approximately 4 feet long.
Detailed parts maps and clear assembly drawings.
Whether you're building your first advanced ship model or your fifteenth, the documentation guides you logically through every major stage of construction.
(Honestly, the only way we could help more is if we provided emotional support.)
A Perfect Companion Piece
Built to the exact same 1:76 scale as the full-hull Model Shipways USS Constitution (MS2040), this cross-section makes a stunning companion display. Place them side by side to showcase both the majestic exterior of "Old Ironsides" and the intricate craftsmanship hidden within.
Or simply tell visitors: "I built the Constitution... well, the interesting part."

2010 Subaru Outback CVT fluid 👍
Size: 5 Quart, Style: 1 Pack
2010 Subaru Outback CVT ... have been using this for several thousand miles instead of OEM fluid, and works just fine ... if your subie takes the "green" CVT fluid, this works excellent! I even used this after dropping the CVT valve body and replacing the lock up solenoid, so I had to replace with almost exactly 10 qts of fluid.

It Works! (Mustang 2016 ecoboost knocking noise)
Style: Modifier
I recently experienced a remarkable transformation in my 2016 Mustang Ecoboost, thanks to the LIQUI MOLY Oil Additive Cera Tec 3721. As someone with a passion for automobiles and a background as a software engineer, I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve my vehicle's performance. This product turned out to be a game-changer.
One of the issues I had been facing with my Mustang was a persistent knocking noise, which can be quite concerning for any car enthusiast. After researching potential solutions, I decided to give LIQUI MOLY Cera Tec 3721 a try. And I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by the results.
The primary reason I opted for this oil additive was its promise of ceramic wear and tear protection. As someone who values the longevity of my vehicles, I wanted to reduce engine friction and wear as much as possible. This product did exactly that. The moment I started using it, I noticed a significant reduction in engine noise, especially the knocking sound that had been bothering me. It provided a smoother engine performance, and the difference was noticeable.
What impressed me even more was the impact on fuel consumption. As someone who loves to travel and has explored six states during my time in the USA, fuel efficiency is a key concern. LIQUI MOLY Cera Tec 3721 not only improved my engine's performance but also led to lower fuel consumption. This means fewer stops at the gas station and more miles of adventure.
Moreover, being a mentor and research assistant, I appreciate the science behind this product. It's clear that LIQUI MOLY has put considerable effort into developing a high-quality additive that benefits both petrol and diesel engines. This is the kind of innovation that I believe will shape the future of the automotive industry.
In conclusion, LIQUI MOLY Oil Additive Cera Tec 3721 has not only fixed the knocking noise in my Mustang but has also enhanced its overall performance. It's a product that aligns with my goal of staying at the forefront of technology and innovation in the IT sector, even when it comes to my car. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve engine performance, reduce friction, and achieve better fuel efficiency. It's a small investment with significant returns for your vehicle.

Skeptical...... to Believer
Style: Modifier, Style: Modifier
I've waited awhile to write this review, to see how time effected my opinion. A little background, my daughter really wanted a 328i, so I went out and found a clean, single owner vehicle with a little over 100k on it. Its the family's first BMW, but as a mechanic I've seen and worked on them all. The BMW N52 engine seems overly complicated for what it does. Power output and economy are just average even though its got just about every bell and whistle including variable valve timing. One thing that struck me was how noisy it was. Kinda like a quiet sewing machine. I changed the oil to Mobil 1 0w/40 Euro blend and she drove it for 7k miles. During this time I read up on all the LL/01 oils for this car, so next oil change I used Castrol Edge, which is LL/01 certified. No difference. Car runs well, still sounds like a sewing machine. 7k more miles go by, and I learn about this CeraTec additive, and decide to give it a try based on all the good reviews. Yup, looks like a Orange Julius!! Well, I dump it it, and take it around the block. Engine seems a little quieter and smoother, but figure its my brain screwing with me. I slam the hood, and give my daughter the keys back, and off she goes.
And here's where it gets interesting.... My 19 year old daughter doesnt know squat about cars. She a 100% gas it up and go girl. So about 2 weeks after the CeraTec goes in we are sitting at the dinner table and she says... " Oh Daddy, I forgot to thank you for tuning up my car". I ask her what makes her think I did? She replies that since the last service its much smoother idling at red lights and its quieter. (Remember, she's driven it for 7500 miles at this point) I asked her how could she tell, as the radio is always at least half volume. She says when its running and she's got the window down ordering at a drive -thru it used to go "tickity-tickity" ( her words)as it echo'ed off the building.. and now its silent. I go out and fire it up and roll down the window and stick my head out.... yup. Silent and verrry smooth. She also has average MPG constantly on display , and its improved about .65 mpg. So, if you add all that up, it seems to work. Liqui-Moly says its lasts 30k miles. I service the car every 7k, so we'll see if this all stays the same after a service, which is coming up soon. The car uses zero oil between services, so I cant comment on that. But from a smoothness, quietness point of view, if my daughter noticed it without me prompting her, I would say thats what made me a believer more than anything. Thanks Liqui-Moly.
