This is a real coincidence!  I just came into the very old Bluejacket solid hull kit of the Half Moon in 1/8" scale.  My cursory review of  the parts shows that there are some missing, but Bluejacket does have replacements.  I will watch the rest of your build with great interest!

hello Bill......every kit manufacturer is different.   I was building this model along side another building the Corel kit.  one difference between our kits,  was that Billings doesn't supply the decorations for the tack line sheaves.

Corel sent them to me for free :)    I'm sure Bluejacket will help you......haven't heard a discouraging word about them  ;)

oh god Pat........I was shocked to find that I last worked on this ship in 2015! :o  it's been up above my main table all this time.   naturally,  it's still on my to do list,  as they all are......currently,  I've been lurking 'round the miscellaneous models forum,  and the slave ship Clotilda.  don't put your seat away though.......usually when my cage gets shaken,  the model sometimes resumes.

 

appreciate ya look'in in  :)

I appreciate the response!  Bluejacket has already been a great help, although this kit is long out of production. They replaced the fittings, which were missing from  the box.  I love their kits as well.  Their service is tops!
