I have one issue with this kit. The only reference to any line of battleship in any of the lists of them is to is one ship named WEST FRIESLAND, but there is no ship named FRIESLAND. Could they be the same? Does it matter? I would rather build ships of historic interest than to build generic ships. Does anyone have any ideas?

I finished a model of SAN FELIPE last year but there is no such ship listed in the Spanish archives. However, upon research, I found a ship with very similar lines and details named REAL FELIPE. I've decided to mount the model with the latter name.

I finally found the answer! Yes, there was a ship-of-the-line named Friesland! It fought in the last two wars of the Anglo-Dutch Wars and was later captured by the French years later. It was renamed Frisland.
