Description:
SPS Galicia (L51) is the lead ship of the Galicia-class landing platform docks developed for amphibious assault, troop transport, and humanitarian support missions within the Spanish Navy. Featuring a large flight deck and floodable well dock, the vessel serves as one of Spain's primary amphibious warfare platforms.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is meticulously built using the traditional plank-on-frame method and premium-grade woods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany. Every detail, from the expansive flight deck and superstructure to the well dock and radar systems, is carefully recreated by skilled craftsmen to capture the impressive appearance of the original vessel.
One of the defining features of the Galicia-class is its flexible amphibious design capable of supporting helicopters, landing craft, and large troop deployments during expeditionary operations. Its modern military architecture and operational versatility give SPS Galicia a powerful naval appearance.
Completion typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the design complexity and selected materials.
