Bill97 Posted November 25, 2020 #1 Posted November 25, 2020 I received as a gift the Trumpeter 1/60 Mayflower. Until receiving this gift I have had no knowledge or experience with this manufacturer. Has anyone had experience with building their sailing ships, and if so, what did you think? I have not opened it as I am finishing up my Man O War. Any thoughts or advice will be greatly appreciated.
yvesvidal Posted November 30, 2020 #2 Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) There is not much on the WEB about that kit, but here is a picture that gives some ideas of the size of the kit: Here is the link to the Build Log: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/hyperscale/trumpeter-mayflower-1-60-t446561.html The good stuff about this kit, is that the scale of 1/60 is very close to the standard 1/64 used for period ships. Mingling plastic parts and wood parts may result in a very nice model. I hope you will start a Build log when you open the box.

GrandpaPhil Posted July 9, 2021 #5 Posted July 9, 2021 I built it years ago. It’s pretty straightforward. I enjoyed it. mtaylor and Canute 2 Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)
