    Hi Felix! I’m a 19-year-old shipmodeler beginner myself too and I’ve picked the same kit from billing’s to start with. I’ve been doing research on this vessel for quite a long time and have managed to find some pictures and plans. Perhaps you’ve come across my topics about my research but this is what I’ve gathered: These are old postcards from Honfleur harbour in the mid 1800s. The last picture seems to depict the same rig as in the kit. This is the original plan that Billing’s got their plans from. It’s from a french book. As far as I understand there is alot more detailed information in some rare french books named in my topic. Unfortunately because of living in Finland I can’t get my hands on them and don’t want to spend the money on shipping. Hopefully this gave you some insight!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
