allanyed Posted March 18, 2023 Share #2 Posted March 18, 2023 Mr. MIllar Can you post the pics and explanations in the kit instructions?

mtaylor Posted March 19, 2023 Share #3 Posted March 19, 2023 I agree with Allan. Also a couple more of the ship itself. I don't see a spritsail mast in the photo. It sits at the extreme forward end of the bowsprit. There's more than a few masting pieces that look like that.

Lastcore Posted March 29, 2023 Share #4 Posted March 29, 2023 I am working on a Billings Boat Vasa as well, and I just dont have that piece at all. Maybe it is part of a slightly older kit? Sorry I can't be more help! jollymillar and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker Posted March 29, 2023 Share #5 Posted March 29, 2023 if I remember correctly. First impression. Pieces with this shape are intended for the lower parts of the fore and main mast. so, you should have 2 like this. otherwise you may have one too many. jollymillar and mtaylor 2 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.

jollymillar Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share #7 Posted June 28, 2023 Well thanks for all the comments and the correct answer was that this piece was actually two pieces for the sprit sail. I had to cut them to length and they sized up perfectly. Very cost effective way to manufacture two pieces in one. Thanks again for all the suggestions which clicked in eventually.
