Has anyone out there tried the Fair American kit from Model Shipways? I purchased the kit with the hope that I could turn it into a reasonable version of the HMS Sophie from the Patrick O'Brien book Master and Commander. Am I way off base here? I'm new at the hobby but have a lot of patience. I'd appreciate any reviews of this kit from fellow modelers.

Hi Joseph,
Lauck Street Shipyard, www.lauckstreetshipyard.com, offers a practicum on the Fair American. Kinda pricy but you may want to consider it. Click on "College of Model Shipbuilding".

Hi Dennis,

Thank you. I'll take a look at it. I'm sort of surprised at the lack of response to my query. I'm going in many directions at the same time but I'll get down to some serious work soon, I hope.

Joe
