Gregory Posted Saturday at 06:03 PM Share #4 Posted Saturday at 06:03 PM On 2nd look, has a lot more bulkheads than the Mamoli kit. Still looks like a similar design. I found this which looks like a good match.

catopower Posted Saturday at 06:16 PM Share #5 Posted Saturday at 06:16 PM Yes, definitely NOT a Mamoli kit for various reasons. Gregory, unfortunately, that looks like an exact match – look at the mounted figure atop the stem. I say unfortunately, because this is likely a banned Chinese kit. Should have been obvious from the start looking at the Chinese characters on the plans. thibaultron 1 Quote 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know it is a knock off of another kit? I didn't see another match.

Lucius Molchany Posted Saturday at 07:50 PM Author Share #8 Posted Saturday at 07:50 PM Yes but I do believe that the Chinese kits are very much frowned upon. thibaultron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Only if they are rip off copies of legitimate designs. Please don't spread that misinformation here. There are legitimate Chinese kits, and as you have that wrong belief, I assume you have gained that information on different shores to MSW. catopower and thibaultron 2 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Chuck Posted Saturday at 08:47 PM Share #10 Posted Saturday at 08:47 PM Its fine as long as it isnt a copied kit. If you have the box send me a picture via pm and i will let you know if its ok. If its not a pirated kit you will be fine…in the meanwhile check the plans for the name of the ship and adjust your build log title. I can also help you with that so it meets our guidelines. thibaultron and catopower 2 Quote Chuck Passaro - MSW Admin Sloop Speedwell - POF scratch Block Island Boat - POF scratch HMS Winchelsea - POB scratch build HM Cutter Cheerful - POB scratch build Royal Barge - POF scratch Medway Longboat- POF Scratch SYREN SHIP MODEL COMPANY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should have just said it was likely one of the banned manufacturers, but I think 90% are from China. If I'm wrong, that's great news!
