Hi rafterrat, sorry for that very late reply. The kit came from Mamoli but it was bought in 1995 and was of quite poor quality. I had to make a complete new frame. Also the design is very silly, a thing I did not notice when I bought the kit. The deck is too full, the crew has no room to move when you set up as ecommended. I have left of the "bridge" and one compagnion ways as well as four guns. These parts of the kit are of especially cruel quality! The lines of the hull are taken from "Arcitectura Navalis Mercantoria" of Chapman which is very nice. I will post some pics very soon... Good luck and always remeber: The TITANIC was built by professionals, the ARK was built by amateurs!

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
