Hi Clipper! I am in the very early stages (16 of 100!) of building a/the Del Prado Bounty, & I have just read that it's 1/64 scale & not 1/48. Interesting that you say the supplied launch is too big for the scale of the main ship. Twintrow says there was a 20 foot & a 23 foot version (thanks twintrow!), so the 23 foot one would be just over 109.5mm long, & the 20 footer would be just over 95mm long. I must check mine then too! You say it looks like a brick - is that because it is too 'chunky', or its panels are too thick? You say yours is heavily bashed - does this mean you have modified it quite a lot because of inaccuracies in the original model? This is my first ship build but still, I would like to get it right ay!
