Rwwde Posted March 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2020 I’m relatively new here and hope that someone can help me out. A relative bought me a kit for the Swift 1805 Virginia Pilot Boat by Artesania Latina (copyright 1982). Unfortunately, several pieces are missing - the false keel, hull frames and false deck. It almost looks like someone started the kit, didn’t finished and I’ve wound up with the remaining parts. Do you have any ideas on how I might replace the missing parts?

ccoyle Posted March 15, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 15, 2020 Two options -- neither very appealing, perhaps. If the kit has full-size drawings of the parts, then you can build them from scratch. Or -- trawl eBay for a second and hopefully complete kit. There's plenty of them, and usually can be had for cheap. mtaylor and Gregory 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Rwwde Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted March 16, 2020 Thanks, Chris. I kind of figured that’s where this would land. If it were smaller, less significant parts I would remake them. But doing the false keel, frames and decks is a bit too much of a challenge at this point. Off to eBay. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
