skipper1947 Posted August 29, 2020 #1 Posted August 29, 2020 I seem to remember spotting a kit of the 1814 Saratoga (Lake Champlain), but can't find it now. Does anybody of any kits available of this ship? Or any ship that took part in the Battle of Lake Champlain (aka Battle of Plattsburgh)? Thanks. 😎
mtaylor Posted August 29, 2020 #2 Posted August 29, 2020 I remember seeing a kit for the brig Eagle from Corel. But that's been about the only one. There are scratch builds of her so plans are available but I don't know where to look for them.

Roger Pellett Posted August 29, 2020 #3 Posted August 29, 2020 The best reference for War of 1812 American vessels that fought on Lake Champlain is “Coffins of the Brave” Edited by Kevin J. Crisman and published by Texas A&M Press. Drawings of Saratoga, Eagle, Ticonderoga,and a Row Barge Gunboat are included as well as the British Brig Linnet. Roger Canute and mtaylor 2
skipper1947 Posted August 29, 2020 Author #4 Posted August 29, 2020 Thanks guys. I will check out the Corel kit. I am afraid my modelling skills do not extend to scratch building. mtaylor and Canute 2
