Hi. I'm new here, don't know what cat this falls under. Looking for someone who has experience building the norske love 1:75. I bought it for my dads retirement. An the manual shows different parts then what it came with. Trying to figure out if the cannon parts are the one for it. In the manual it shows different parts. P#f164, an on the board it's p#F164L-6. Any info would be great.

No experience with that kit, but I’m working on a Midwest kit (from Model Expo / Model Shipways) and it had a bunch of mismatches between instructions and sheets. I later found in the box a supplemental sheet with an updated map to how the parts were laid out on the sheets.

Hi Joe. I also have the Billing Norske Love which is in the wings waiting to be built myself. A fantastic model that should keep your dad out of trouble for quite some time. I have also built a number of Billing kits so I am familiar with their numbering of parts. "F" refers to a fitting. All the bits and pieces that are not wood parts. 164, is the fitting number and in this case refers to the gun carriages. The number "6" is meant to denote the colour the carriages are meant to be painted. In this case a dark red. I'm not sure where you see the "L" when you say it is on the board. "L" normally refers to the standing rigging or the rigging controlling the yards. I hope this is a help.

Cheers, Peter
