ccoyle Posted May 4, 2021 Share #7 Posted May 4, 2021 Wood kits for ships of that era are rather few in number. Model Shipways has one of Flying Fish, and a couple of the European companies offer either Cutty Sark or Flying Cloud. MarisStella has a nice kit of the barque Stefano. There are also a few kits of some of the 20th-century sail training ships as well. But that's about it. mtaylor and Robby The Brobot 1 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Well that is a really nice looking ship kit, however that price tag is a bit high 😣. But looks like a nice finished model. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lookin at their endurance model, however the only kit ive worked on so far for model ships is the occre buccaneer. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Posted May 4, 2021 Share #11 Posted May 4, 2021 The Mamoli/Dusek Flying Cloud might be another option.
