Vett Posted September 19, 2014 #1 Posted September 19, 2014 looking to build a chinese junk or something close anyone know of a kit or plans for one at least 24" long? Quote
Vett Posted October 12, 2014 Author #2 Posted October 12, 2014 GIUNCA CINESE PIRATA SCALE 1:100 BY AMATI. Just starting this kit has anyone built it. The instructions are not too good but the parts are nice, the kit is a little small for me but I like the boat. Quote
mtaylor Posted October 12, 2014 #3 Posted October 12, 2014 I don't see any build logs for this ship. I'd suggest start a build log and let us look over your shoulder. It'll be the best way to help, advice, and encouragement.

angler Posted October 12, 2014 #4 Posted October 12, 2014 I am currently building the Artesania Latina kit of the Chinese junk, "Red Dragon." I believe I have a kit from a recently produced batch, judging from the contents of the box. The quality of the kit is excellent and the instructions are very good. There is plenty of opportunity to customize the model and make a different version of a three mast junk if you want. Or you can stick with building the ship out of the box as is. The full size plans show the length to be 19 inches. There may be kits for larger junks out there, but, I could not find one. Hope this information is useful. angler Quote
Vett Posted October 12, 2014 Author #5 Posted October 12, 2014 I got the GIUNCA CINESE PIRATA SCALE 1:100 BY AMATI a nice kit but the instructions are not very good. It's a little smaller than I would like but maybe I can scale them up later on. Quote
testazyk Posted October 12, 2014 #6 Posted October 12, 2014 I did the Amati junk and agree that the plans aren't the best. I did a lot of departing from the plans which didn't quite qualify as bashing and I'm pretty happy with the result. Definitely don't use the plastic boats!
