i started with kits from Model Shipways a long, long time ago and i fully support there kits and their service. I do recommend SoS members to take advantage of the 20% discount.

the term "museum quality replicas" is somewhat ambiguous but still the quality is there.



Our Model Shipways division has manufactured kits since 1946 and is world-renown for its supremely accurate
depictions of historic vessels from the golden age of sail and more. Kits contain highly detailed instructions,
full-scale plans, and parts of the highest quality. Model Shipways kits range in level of difficulty from beginner to expert,
with construction methods including plank-on-frame, plank-on bulkhead, and solid hull models. Our kits have been designed
by leading naval architects and historical authorities to a fanatical level of detail and are manufactured in the USA by
our own highly experienced staff. Precision laser-cut wooden frames and other parts, along with pre-shaped rigging components,
rigging thread, brass, Britannia metal, and other materials enable the builder to achieve museum-quality replicas, right
down to the historically accurate colors.

Kit Review - Charles W. Morgan Whaling Bark 1:64 scale - Model Shipways

Most of you guys know this fact but let me just start with a brief history according to MS. The Morgan was originally built fully-rigged, but right after the Civil War she was modified to become a double top sail bark. Her wailing days came to an end 1921 with the decline whale oil prices. She...

When I'm finished with this victory, it won't be a museum or show quality, but it will be ok to put on one of my shelves.
 
I have been building their models from when they first started all those years ago. I have built all of their 1/16th aircraft kits, some twice. I put them in dioramas for the Canada Aviation& Space Museum in Ottawa, Canada. All of them were appraised by Shep Paine. Model Expo helped me to make my dreams come true as a modeler. Cheers! John.
 
Good for you John .
Model Expo is helping you get some extra money so you could buy more toys.
 
I've always had good experiences with Model Expo. Their customer service is top-notch, to the point that I've been surprised at how well they responded to issues. Me, my father-in-law and neighbor are all loyal customers, so this is nice.
 
Hi. Checked the model expo website and I can’t see the anniversary discount and do we need a code for the SOS discount?
