Hello Guest! There's a lot to look over, so sit back with a cup of coffee, relax and browse around. We have a great group of ship and boat modelers here, both newbies and old salts, from all over the world. Our goal here is to help each other, without criticism or rebuke. Both newbies and old salts alike can learn from each other. No one has all the answers. Our most basic rule is simple, respect for your fellow members and their opinions. And don't take yourself too seriously! wirewolf (John, AKA - Cap), Forum Administrator

Default BlueJacket ship kits

I'm a novice, looking to purchase my first kit. Looking at the BlueJacket catalog the kits seem expensive compared to Model shipways. BlueJacket does not describe the details of the kits (wood types, plans, etc.) so I find it hard to compare. Anyone build kits from both? Is BlueJacket kits worth the add expense? Why?

Dave
