New member from Italy with question about USF Confederacy 1778 from Model Shipways


Recommended Posts

I am a new member from Italy. Until now I have built 22 ships, mostly french and britain.

For the first time I have bought a US boat; I have found that in the box of Confederacy 1778 there is only the boat and not the ship masts and the boat sails.

May help me where to buy the missing part of the boat?

Welcome to MSW Giuseppe!

I believe this kit is an Admiralty style model, not rigged.  Some folks show the mast stubs which I think your kit provides, but most contemporary Admiralty style models do not have them.

Some samples below.

Hello Guissepe and welcome to MSW.

As others have said, it sounds like your model is Navy Board or Admiralty style so it does not come with masts/spars. Here is a thread discussing rigging etc of Confederacy which may help is you want to scratch build them:

 

Also, may I suggest you use the 'search' feature at the top right of the page? If you search 'Confederacy' and select 'titles only' it will give you lots of threads covering other examples of the same model and some covering scratch-built models.

Hope this helps, good luck!

 

Regards,

Bruce

Hi Giuseppe and welcome to Model Ship World.  As others have stated, this model was designed as admiralty style.  The designer of the kit is Chuck Passaro and he is a member of this forum.
