    Ed, Thanks for reply. I've seen several Model Shipways kits of "Young America" on eBay from about $50-75. The kit is apparently from the 1950s. I'm sure it will be a challenge after I finish the HMS Sultana (solid hull) and Benjamin W. Latham Grand Banks fishing schooner (POB). Have built a New York Pilot Boat (solid hull), Boston whaleboat (solid hull) and a scratch-built J/22 sail boat (1:176 scale). Where can I find your FB log of Young America?

    I have been given a kit in original box of "Young America" by Model Shipways. Everything seems to be in the kit. I contacted MS and was told the kit is at least 30 years old. The instructions are only 8 pages, leaving a lot to the imagination for this experienced but still novice builder. There are the typical drawing sheets included. The solid hull to be finished apears to be a coarse grained wood, possibly red pine. Are there any better instructions and/or a decent set of photos during construction that I can use in this build?

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.
