Hello. Is this kit already available in France for sale with sewn sails and pearwood hull with imitation treenails?

Hi, I ordered it from Germany.

Started with the assembly of the MK boat. No problem So far. All fits very well. One has to be really careful sending those very small and fragile pieces. I'm impressed by how it is designed (the building jig, framing from pear wood etc.) Super nice! Great work and ideas from MK👍

Together with AVOS I bought alsi this kit. I would like to use it on RC instead of Panart's "schalupe" but it is smaller and I'm not sure how it will look. Anyway I'm taking it as a practice before AVOS and if not on RC I can use it on AVOS display few years later

Be soooooo careful everything is very very delicate

Yeah, I have noticed. It will be fun😲😂

Today I received the AVOS kit. It is the best version executed in pear. The wood looks fantastic and the laser cutting is So detailed. I am very excited about it. Not sure when I start with the build as I have still plenty of work on rigging my Royal Caroline but this could be escape from the ropes. 

It will be fun but also chalenge I guess. At this scale everything is so small! 

Today it finaly arrived. My next project. Master Korabel, Tender AVOS exclusive kit. It looks super nice! I'm So excited😀

We have finaly reached the full height! She will eat quite a space from our living room🤔💤😲

And the last is fore topgallant stay. With this I have all standing rigging of fore mast in place. 💣

Today, I have finished shrouds and both fore topgallant backstays. 

Amazing. Lovely ship and lovely build! Great work. 

Topgallant shrouds. 

Today I got big help serving ropes was in double speed.

Fore topgallant mast is in place ready for rigging. 

Starting with 3rd level and gainning some height.

Very nice work  - not that easy  attaching all those ropes in confined areas  - I know.

 

OC.

Thanks mate! 

The main topmast head covered with blocks. 

Finaly I find some time to get back to work on the RC. Not much to show. I'm rigging blocks to the main topmast head. I have also polished and temporarily placed figurhead. 

Thank you very much Katsumoto. 

Blocks on the fore tops. Not easy to fit everything to the topmast head but I believe all needed blocks are now There. 

Finaly I tied Last ratline on this project!! 🎉

I have installed jib boom and jib staysail stay. That one I really enjoyed. It has several interesting components. 

Stay tackle

Traveller

Components of the jib staysail stay

I can't wait for my! Pre-ordered alredy

Mizzen topmast stay in place. That was the last one from topmasts "floor". Now I have to tie planety of blocks to topmasts heads. Not sure how it will go as There is not much space for all the rigging... 🙄

I got nice mail today. Nice set of flags laser double side printed from one Czech modelar. I think it will be nice fit for RC. Thanks

Mizzen backstays.

I have decided to invest some more money and bought some nice blocks, hooks, staysails hinges etc. 

What a difference, right?
