About Constructo

Constructo is a Spanish wooden ship model kit manufacturer based in Barcelona, founded in 1942. It began as part of an established Spanish toy and games company that later expanded into wooden ship kits, and today the brand operates within the Barcelona-based toy group Diset. Constructo is recognized as a pioneer in the wooden model ship field, having been an early adopter of laser-cut technology to make kit assembly more accessible for hobbyists of all skill levels. Its catalog spans easy beginner sets with pre-carved or pre-painted hulls up through advanced plank-on-frame builds, and kits typically include detailed, photo-illustrated instructions along with brass, cast metal, and other hardware fittings. The company's range covers many famous historic and naval vessels, including the Bounty, USS Constitution, Mayflower, Cutty Sark, HMS Victory, and Spanish training ships such as the Juan Sebastián de Elcano and Galatea, with kits generally produced at scales from roughly 1:50 to 1:200 depending on the subject.
