To put another example into the discussion here is an example of the Airfix Golden Hind that I am building at present, yet the stern of this is totally different from the Revell one above. 

Which I guess is either accurate or these company's did very little in the way of Historical accuracy when developing these models?

Also do any Naval Historical establishments have surviving  details and records on these 2 ships or "The Pelican" before she was renamed the "Golden Hind" and thus after renaming was she fitted with a New stern to support the image. 

I guess we'll probably never know, and I wouldn't be surprised if the same questions could be asked of other Galleons/ vessels from this era.

Hi Everyone 

Just been looking through a few models on the internet I built years ago, and was wondering about the stern on these two models namely "Airfix- Revenge" & "Revell -  Golden  Hind" in the fact that the two are very similar. 

Are these historically accurate? Do we know what these 2 ships actually looked like ? Or has one copied the other? 

Bowsprit, Masts and Crows nest assembled and built in position on my Airfix 1:72 Golden Hind. Everything on hold just now as still waiting on Rigging blocks being delivered.

A wee up date on how my Airfix 1:72 Golden Hind is progressing. Hull, Deck, , Gallery, Anchor lines, Cannons and Cannon ports all completed. Starting the Masts tomorrow ⚓⚓⚓🤺🤺🤺🙂
