Luapdraw1234 Posted January 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) I have acquired a cutty sark kit that seems to be complete except for the wooden cut-out pieces on sheets 8&9..the accessories pugs have never been opened.it is an older kit with copper .the date on the instruction sheets is 1976..I have a number of questions.1 is it possible to get the lazier-cut sheets that are missing. 2 how do I check to see if other things are missing? 3 does anyone have interest in the kit the way it is? It is a sergal modelli. Mantua Model # 789. I am located in saskatchewan, Canada Edited January 19, 2017 by Luapdraw1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted January 20, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2017 Ooh, sounds like you are not the original owner of the kit, which means practically no retailer or manufacturer will feel obliged to supply the missing parts, even if they are still available. You might be able to scratch-build the missing parts without too much difficulty. Good luck! mtaylor 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

bonedoctor51 Posted January 24, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 24, 2017 Caution!! The plans are notoriously inaccurate. I strongly suggest getting a copy of Longridge's book to use as a guide. I will be posting some new photos today of my work in progress of this model. Lou mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donrobinson Posted January 25, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 25, 2017 You may have a hard time finding parts, I wish you luck. I am surprised it has laser cut sheets in a kit that old.

tlevine Posted January 25, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 25, 2017 Although the instruction sheets are copyright 1976, the kit is much newer. I built the same kit in 1986 and had to cut out all the bulkheads from a printed sheet of plywood. It also did not come with copper plates at that time. I agree with Lou, the plans are extremely inaccurate. Get Longridges book. I also replaced most of the fittings, with scratch built items because of their inaccuracy and size. mtaylor 1 Quote Toni Chairman Nautical Research Guild Member Nautical Research and Model Society Member Midwest Model Shipwrights Current Builds: NRG Rigging Project Completed Builds: Longboat - 1:48 scale HMS Atalanta-1775 - 1:48 scale Half Hull Planking Project Capstan Project Swallow 1779 - 1:48 scale Echo Cross Section Gallery: Hannah - 1:36 scale.

rfolsom Posted February 15, 2017 Share #7 Posted February 15, 2017 Yes, Longridge and Campbell for your reference... Wood is just wood; if your dimensions differ from the plans, I would suggest you remake or remodel them accordingly. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
