sailorman Posted October 6, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 6, 2016 Hello all, I purchased a kit of Corel's HMS Neptune, which appears to represent a two decker of the late 1600's and probably doesn't represent the actual ship, which was a first rate ship of the line. Nevertheless, has anyone had experience building this kit, and what kind of quality result is obtained? Thanks in advance for any info.

Denis.Boarder Posted November 28, 2016 Share #2 Posted November 28, 2016 Hi Sailorman. I have been looking up the records at the National Maritime Museum. I can see your problem. According to the records at the Battle of La Hougue on 2 June 1692 Neptune was a 96 gun Ship of the Line (Can't find any pictures). It appears she was in the blue squadron. The Coral Photo appears to show a red ensign. Not that that is any help but you might like to get back to Coral and check their details.

S.Coleman Posted November 28, 2016 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2016 Have a look and search through the build logs here. I'm pretty sure I have seen a build log on this ship here somewhere. Might even be some photos in our gallery. Best of luck.
