Hello, a handsome ship!  Love the finish.  Is it Tung Oil?  Photos offer plenty of inspiration.  Thanks for posting.

This is the very model kit that inspired my interest in ship modeling so many years ago. 

 

Beautiful model!

Many thanks for the kind comments!  First, I rubbed all surfaces with a very old tack cloth made by Detro.  I am not sure what is in this cloth, but it works very nicely - the package says it is wax and silicon free, but I can feel something almost oily in the cloth.  Once everything rubbed and cleaned, I sprayed clear satin polyurethane by Minwax.  This gives the results seen in the photos.

Looks really good.  Swift was my first ship model built in '97.  Yours is much better.

I am revising the plaque I got for this boat.Best I can tell, the scale is more like 1:40 based upon the plans in the  Royal Museums Greenwich.  Not the first time AL got the scale wrong!

If anyone knows more of this boat or type of boat please share.
