Revell 1/220 scale Cutty Sark assembly questions

[Racersonly]

Please forgive me if my questions seem rather elementary. This would be my first sail ship……

 

- I’m having trouble wrapping my head around the instructions. I’m to the point in the process where I’m running the thread rigging. The instructions have an “A”, “B”, and “C” options? (This is confusing me) Would this be 3 different detail levels?

 

- If so, at what point do I add the sails? The instructions shows adding sails, followed up by more rigging without the sails? (It’s blowing my mind, dude!)🤪

Going by other Revell kits that I had, usually the A, B, and C variations are a choice you make before starting the rigging to determine if you want to show the vessel A - without sails, B - with plain sails (that is the square sails and the triangular jibs and staysails), or C - with full sails which will include all of the plain sails plus the studding sails.

 

May I suggest you start a build log and we can follow along and help you out on your rigging journey.
