    Probably. It is a bit annoying as Jotika redirects directly to them. Also found reviews that they get delivered kits within a few days.

    Hi all, I just wondering what are the opinions of Premier Ship Modelling to order from. As they had a 30-40% sale I ordered three ship kits almost a month ago and I don't see my order started to be delivered at all. I contacted them by email. Getting vague assurances "dispatch tomorrow" or "send it next week". Did I order from a sketchy company? Or is it because the sale? What are the experiences with the UK site?

    Thanks for this info Lieste. I wonder if the Danish ships was treated the same as well... HDMS Holsteen was captured in 1801 by the Brits and they reused it as HMS Nassau. They used it to capture other ships in the Napoleonic wars. She even served in the second battle of Copenhagen in 1807. So she must have been a fine ship. My guess is that she was repainted and rearmed and rerigged.

    Thanks the reply Trevor and Chris. Currently I am preoccupied by Columbus' fleet (Nina, Pinta, St. Maria), but I already look for my next project. As the current project is more of a return to the hobby, I am shy about it. Made mistakes and had to salvage old Amati sets. as for next project: I was thinking make the HMS Nassau aka the HDMS Holsteen using Norske Love Kit and wondered if I attempt this how much changes I might need. I researched Holsteen but foound the stern and the hull similar enough. My decision to go this route as some ships like Caldercraft ones are very expensive to get with the extra custom duty. Amati is beyond my price range but Norske Love has a good price range and the quality considered good. Also find the conversion idea intriguing. If you have any better Idea I am all ears, as my aim is getting a ship from 18th or early 19th century from the Royal Navy. Preferably frigates or ship of the line. so TLDR: plan to buy Norske Love by Billing Boats, but want to convert it to a Royal navy HMS Nassau . Assuming Norske Love is similar enough for being in place for Holsteen. I look cor help here to give me advice what to look for. Thx again Thomas

    Hi all, I would like to ask the knowledgable Admiralty around that fill gaps in my humble knowledge of nautical information. I wonder what actually happened to ships in the 18. And 19. Century with prized captures if the Royal Navy wanted to use them in service again? What did they do to the ship itself? What they changed or altered on the prize ships? Repaint? Rerigged? Or just slapped a new flag and done with it? Thanks in advance, Thomas from Ireland
