I started this kit many years ago in my ill-spent youth. Fast forward 35 years or so and I came across the box with all the remaining parts and thought to resume the build. It appears that the hull that I started has gone missing in the many intervening moves. I'd like to try to start over if I can replace the missing hull parts. I thought to replace the parts from the manufacturer. I contacted Artesania Latina; they no longer produce, stock or support the kit. I think I can replicate the keelson and the deck fairly well using the kit plans. However, the bulkheads will not be possible to reproduce since only a couple are partially represented in the plans. If anyone has this kit in unstarted condition and you have the bulkheads available that you could trace them onto paper and send them to me that I might be able to reproduce those the parts? I will, of course, reimburse any associated costs. Also, the parts call for 4mm and 2mm plywood. I have searched unsuccessfully all over the internet for such material. Is there a producer or supplier in the US for thin plywood in metric dimensions? TIA to anyone that might be able to help me!

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.
