    Hello Henrik, welcome to MSW !! I'm building the Vespucci 1/100 (I bought it for 320 euros) and with the bowsprit is 100cm. But i don't know if you find it difficult or not . That will be your first ship? This is my second build and tell you the truth... it's kinda difficult with the instructions of Mantua. I think you should look a more simple ship such as bluenose (this was my first build, and learn a lot of things on her).. This is only my opinion after all!! Glad if i can help you. Wait and from other members to help you regarding your question. Regards Dimitris

    Hello shipmates, this is my third attempt, in the world of ship modelling with this beautiful vessel. My admiral gave me an early gift for my upcoming birthday ...I had in mind to buy it as a present to myself on christmas time.. :D I have still a lot to do on my Amerigo Vespucci and i don't want start the RC right away. How ever, because i'm not the most patient man in the world, I decided to start this build log with some photos of the current kit. All the instructions on the large sheets with the plans are written in Italian . Of course there is a book of instructions in English that seems not to be at all bad. I have no big experience with wood quality , but the kit's wood seems fine. I will use the lime strips for a 1st planking and for the 2nd, i'm thinking -instead of walnut that came with the kit -of using some swiss pear strips. I also decided to change the walnut strips from 0.5 to 1 mm for the deck panking (or use lime strips). All items included in the kit are inside (no missing parts). :) So here are the photos.... Kind Regards Dimitris

    Hello J , you are doing a super job to your picket boat. Regarding the paints I use Vallejo model air for the airbrush ,and Vallejo model color for brushes. I will follow with interest!! Kind Regards Dimitris
