Unknown Royal Yacht kit.


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Why is it banned?  We don't ban kits just because they are of Chinese origin.

 

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

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.

I didn't say it was banned because it was Chinese. 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!
