Heinrich,Congratulations Jan. I am very happy for you. The three months' wait is not the worst - now at least you know she is safe and sound. As I said before, you will experience exceptional customer service (the best in the business) from Hans @Kolderstok and you will build a true qualitykit.
I would suggest having a very close look at the build log of Hans Groenenberg in the Netherlands. https://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/duyfken-kolderstok.247171/
I will gladly help with the translations.
No problem. The pictures in Hans's build log are also a great help.
Great that you received your kit early enough for Christmas.
When it is allowed for you, to take a closer look into the box before, maybe you could show us the content in a kit review?
I will follow your building log - so let us see us once more here end of December, latest the 26th
Great to see. Here she is , docked in Hillarys boat harbour in Perth, although her permanent spot is in Fremantle. I can give you more pics if you like. Good luck.

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.Great to see. Here she is , docked in Hillarys boat harbour in Perth, although her permanent spot is in Fremantle.

I've just read in the paper that the Duyfken is to be relocated to Sydney. Better get onto taking more pics , before she leaves. Such a shame. I actually did a 4 hour tour on the Swan river with her, a great experience. They run them in the summer.Hi Frankieg,
Those are great pictures, thanks for posting them. I’m looking forward to building this little ship. I’ve spent a few hours researching and downloading pictures and literature to have on hand when I start “construction “.

The Dutch were WAY ahead of their time, haha.Another detail to be include in the build???

Alternative propulsion. You never know what a “Google” search will turn up.
