druxey Posted April 28, 2015 #4 Posted April 28, 2015 If you are referring to the Vancouver expedition, Discovery was as depicted here (From the RMG collection). She was similar to a naval sixth rate, but with a merchant ship body. (The cross-section would have been fuller and the bow much bluffer.) If you aren't too fussy, I suppose a kit of Fly, a Swan class ship might be adapted to resemble her. (For those interested, the drawing shows ventilation scuttles on the lower deck: a detail usually omitted from official draughts.) mtaylor and uss frolick 2 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
