Thank you!! Having now my attention on the hull, I believe Aifix has a mistake than needs to be fixed. The middle gundeck has the 2 gunports under the galleries missing. Indeed, this is a major problem it needs to be addressed :

I forgot this: the assembled pieces and spruces that are to become the semi scratchbuilt masts

I have created a modified version of Prince's masts from wooden kit plans, to scratchbuilt for sovereign. The original masts ion the kit are very galleon like, with 4 fighting tops on each, very bizzare, and not present in most of later Sovereign's paintings.

I'll cut through the gunports of the model, and glue carriages on the interior. This way the thickness of the side hull, seen in the gunport wall, will be more notable, especially with the red color.

A few initial updates: Condition of the parts when I got them. Not the easiest start, but I'll battle with it:

Greatings to everyone, I am very happy to be back in this forum again! All these years I have been admiring the magnificent work of the members. Here I'll post the built log of this old airfix kit which I was given by very good friend. The box is very old, 1970s packaging. Some paint traces on the hull from an old painting attempt, and some pieces of the original masts bend broken or missing. I know, a rather rough start. I'll attempt to built the kit and correct some of its problems while I am at it. I really love 17th century ships, and I really look forward for this built. Thank you!
