Hi all, I'm new to model ship building and I have just bought my first model, it's the Drakkar viking long boat. The only problem is that the plans are all in chineese. 

Would any one know where I may be able to get some plans in English?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to say, but if the instructions are in Chinese, then the first thing you need to do is read our statement on banned manufacturers. The vast majority of kits coming out of China are infringements of Western intellectual property (i.e. knock-offs), though there are a couple of Chinese manufacturers who don't engage in the practice. Kits from manufacturers on the banned list are not allowed for build logs or discussion here at MSW.

Welcome to MSW, Graham.   BTW, I deleted your duplicate introduction.

Not a problem. A lot of people get into this hobby with no awareness of the knock-off kits problem, so you're far from being the first. One of our goals is to educate those in the hobby about the issue.
