I have plans for a small superstructure & a funnel. ;D

I found these invaluable:

No, I don't think that's enough help for the one I've got.

The rigging, masts & sails are all pretty crappy. Even the hull has "wood effect" moulded into it, which will require filling & sanding to get looking half-decent. :banghead:
That wouldn't be the Academy Cutty Sark by chance?

Standby, I'll check ..... Yes, it is! Well done, that man! :thumbsup:

Luckily I never had any intention of building it as a sailing ship, but who in their right mind would put "wood effect" on a 1/350 sailing ship? :unsure:

Seriously, those "wood grain" features are probably about 0.5mm wide, that converts to about 175mm / 7" !!! :o
Hahahaha...aa wee bit of a gap eh 😳 😅
It's not the best of models by a long shot and I think it was released somewhere in the early 90s so it's kinda old to...still tho it's a 20 coin model here so it's also cheap 😆
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .
