Scale: 1/96
 
These model represents the ship's bell and 5'-6" (1.66 m) square by 6'-9.5" (2.07 m) tall belfry of large ships of the 18th and 19th Centuries such as the 104-gun HMS Victory and 74-gun third-rate ships-of-the-line HMS Vanguard and HMS Bellona, and 64-gun HMS Agamemnon.
 
Although there were minor variations among real bells and belfries, these models' overall dimensions match the belfry drawing of noted naval historian David White as published in "Anatomy of the Ship: The Frigate Diana" (drawing C2/3), with details and moldings designed to match photos of surviving bells and belfries.
 
Before ordering, please check these dimensions against your model ship to ensure a good fit:

References indicate that USS Constitution was probably not fit with a 4-post belfry of this type.
