Giuseppe Angiolini Posted February 27, 2023 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2023 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? ccoyle, Keith Black and bruce d 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker Posted February 27, 2023 Share #2 Posted February 27, 2023 I do not think this model is intended to put masts on it. see link https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/model-shipways-confederacy-MS2262.html Keith Black, Dave_E and mtaylor 3 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch To do : Prins Willem Corel, Le Tonnant Corel, Yacht d'Oro Corel, Thermopylae Sergal Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.

allanyed Posted February 27, 2023 Share #3 Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) 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.

bruce d Posted February 27, 2023 Share #5 Posted February 27, 2023 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!
