ccoyle Posted January 12, 2021 #2 Posted January 12, 2021 This looks like a kit model of the Half Moon, only pierced for four guns instead of the more usual eight -- perhaps an older Corel or Billing Boats kit. mtaylor, catopower and J11 3 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

catopower Posted January 12, 2021 #3 Posted January 12, 2021 I agree with Chris, it's the Half Moon or Halve Maen. But, only the Corel kit has 8 gun ports. Most other kits, particularly the more recent ones, and the replicas show the ship pierced for 4 guns, 2 on each side. Just like this model. mtaylor and J11 2 Clare Hess He's a -> "HE" Current Builds HMS Wolf, 1754 - Shipyard Laser Cut Kit Kitamaebune - Japanese Coastal Trade Ship, 18th/19th Centuries - Woody Joe Kit Atakebune - Japanese Sengoku Period Warship - Woody Joe Kit
