    Rainbow was actually built in '34 I completed this model today. I placed it against Endeavour the 1934 challenger that I completed 3 years ago. The sail area is larger and the mast height substantially higher. In real life they were almost identical to each other. Therefore Amati got something wrong in designing these kits.

    Thanks Blackie. I already have Lennarth's book and it has been useful in building Scottish Maid. I'll get the Chapelle book too. I found some Italian 1964 kit plans for Harvey (that I did not know was a immagination of a BS!) that only shows 8 guns. Unlike Lynx of 1812 that had several more. Therefore I think 79" is more to the size of ship I am going to build. ie 1:40. But will research a bit more. Thanks for reaching out.

    Hi Blackie My next build will be the Harvey. Your instruction notes will be very useful. Lovely model you made! The question I have that with many AL kits the scale is actually wrong. So the question I have, is in your research for the Harvey did you establish what the length of the "real" ship was on deck?

    You actually got instruction booklet!!!!!! My instruction book int he kit I am starting consists of about 4 pages in English and a lot of pictures on the box that IK need to refer to.

    On My Charles W Morgan, I used black sewing thread as the chalking.
