Lucius Molchany Posted November 2 Author #3 Posted November 2 Ok !Good thing that I have a lot of clamps! thibaultron 1 Quote
Gregory Posted November 2 #4 Posted November 2 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 November 2 #5 Posted November 2 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

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

Lucius Molchany Posted November 2 Author #8 Posted November 2 Yes but I do believe that the Chinese kits are very much frowned upon. thibaultron 1 Quote

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 November 2 #10 Posted November 2 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. catopower and thibaultron 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

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!
