I believe those magnificent carvings are after market carvings for the Corel or any other 1/75 Vasa model and the 1/48 carvings are for a scratch built model.

You are a leader and us are just mere followers.

Thank you for the great review Heinrich. I would like to give an opinion on the name plate issue that has been discussed. I have built many paper models and I believe the name can be fixed easy by printing the name on paper. Then the strip with letters can be cut out and glued around the back...

Impressive looking model and at the scale and size should have much interest. Great to see another POF kit on the market. Does yqmodel sell direct or just through Taobao? Taobao can be quite awkward to use outside of China.

Excellent and thorough review as always from you Uwek. Thank you.

Ordering is easy from CAF website.

Thanks for showing. I didn’t know where she has been hiding. I will visit her tomorrow. Only a couple of kms away. It’s been rough weather last few days so I doubt she will be moving soon.

Looks very nice. Dutch ships are always interesting. I hope to be able to visit the replica moored at Fremantle soon.

I believe mine is OK

Go ahead and add more. Cheers

Here is a quick look at the new Le Coureur. This is a great kit looking, very highly detailed and extensive kit and extremely great value for money. There is a lot here including extras like barrels, sail cloth, bedding and cutter kits. The brass castings are of particularly excellent quality...

Excellent looking ropes. Will be interested in these.

I received my kit yesterday. No time to audit it thoroughly but looks like a very impressive kit. I would rate it with the best available on first impressions. Congratulations to Trident for a great effort and thank you.

Posters should have a look at Ebay shipping prices from the US. Most vendors now use the Ebay shipping pricing tool where a sheet of decals costs $AU53 to ship internationally. Absolutely ridiculous shipping prices across the board. See below...

You are right. Should have qualified my post. Not all Chinese kits are excellent quality but there is a clear linear improvement and development in Chinese kits that many other long established makers don’t seem to be able to keep up with. All the recent improvements seem to be coming from...

I have used the flame technique also. Then I would shellac the lines which tightened the rigging up. Don’t add more flame after shellac as it loosens the lines again.

I remember in my early trips to China about 15 yers ago and seeing Chinese model ship kits in a couple of shop windows and very reasonably priced as well. Never heard of Chinese ship model kits before then. I assumed they were junk kits and didn’t even bother to inspect them. They have exceeded...
