On the other hand, there are those of us who care about historical accuracy, at least accuracy that is as close as possible to replicate. That was my point about finding the drawings and paintings of the Real Felipe that indicate a close match to the kit. While I might never be able to prove 100% accuracy, I will have fun researching and modeling to attain as much as an accurate depiction as I can. But, this is characteristic of the history teacher and professor in me. I revel in making my research come alive in my modeling. I am convinced that the Panart kit of the San Felipe is a reasonably close approximation of the Real Felipe of 1732. We all model for different reasons, but I think we all agree that this is a great hobby. Your San Felipe is outstanding so far!
