Moab Posted December 11, 2018 #1 Posted December 11, 2018 I'm considering building the BlueJacket "Spray" kit. I've built other BlueJacket kits and am always impressed with the quality. Does anyone have any information about this kit or better yet building the kit?...Moab thibaultron 1 Quote Completed Builds: Virginia Armed Sloop...Model Shipways Ranger...Corel Louise Steam Launch...Constructo Hansa Kogge...Dusek Yankee Hero...BlueJacket Spray...BlueJacket 26’ Long Boat...Model Shipways Under Construction: Emma C.

mtaylor Posted December 11, 2018 #2 Posted December 11, 2018 I looked in here and no Sprays are listed. Maybe someone has built one but didn't do a log: thibaultron and lmagna 2 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
lmagna Posted December 11, 2018 #3 Posted December 11, 2018 It looks like this is a fairly simple large scale model. The only real novelty seems to be that it is plank-on-bulkhead like their lobster boat rather than the normal Bluejacket solid hull kit. You may be breaking new ground for MSW. thibaultron and mtaylor 2 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey
thibaultron Posted December 11, 2018 #4 Posted December 11, 2018 The Model Ship Builder forum has a thread on a scratch built version. You may get some info from it.

I have to chuckle a bit - older perceptions are sometimes different from reality. BlueJacket makes 78 model kits, and only 30 of them are solid hull, 12 are cast resin, 3 are plank on frame, and the rest are plank on bulkhead. mtaylor 1 Quote
