    Any insights as to why they didnt make it into production? To expensive to manufacture? I would assume both the Prince and Cutty Sark would be popular subjects. Mantua have basically sold the same Sovereign of the Seas kit for over 50 years. A modern kit design of a 17th century war ship would have been nice. I certainly would like to have both the Prince and Cutty Sark!

    Yes. I was refering to the new kit. See post 15-22 in this thread.

    I have been looking forward to this kit from the moment I heard about it, but I guess we can safely assume by now that this kit suffered the same fate as Amati Victory. It is a pity that there exist a fully developed kit that will not reach the market. It must cost a significant amount of money to develop it.

    You can look forward to an epic and interesting build. It is not as difficult to build as rumours says. Is this an older version of the kit? Mine came with the keel in one piece; not in walnut as yours but light colored ply like the frames. Judging from the pictures it seems yours came with strips for deck planking. Mine came without but with scribed decks. Mine also came with balsa for the first planking instead of lime.

    I have no experience with any of the Cutty Sark kits out there, but I suspect that the best one might be the Woody Joe 1/80 kit (they have a 1/100 also). I own the 1/80 Nippon Maru kit (not yet started) and the quality is impressive.

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.
