I recently obtained this large Agamemnon from a friend, and was wondering if any of you can identify if it was made from a kit? To me it looks a little like the Caldercraft kit but with full sails.
Most of the parts are wood. The plastic parts include the cannons, the red enclosures around them, and the ornamentation above the windows in the back.
I would like to replace the cannons if possible with some that are higher quality than the shiny plastic ones, perhaps made of brass or black metal. Are there any model ship parts suppliers you can recommend? That’s a lot of cannons to replace ! Thank you for any help you can give me. Steve
Agamemnon is this a kit or scratch-built?

Thank you very much Ron, for all your helpful information. The person who built it passed away, and his wife gave it to me as she was looking for a home for his ship model collection (this was the only large one).
I may take your suggestion and just paint the cannons matte black as I think that color would look better and more authentic.
Am still looking for a large detailed model of the Bluenose II or another 2 mast schooner, but the ones made overseas don't have the level of detail I was hoping to find.
Anyway, I am grateful to you for your advice and ideas.
Best regards, Steve
