I ran across this photo on Pinterest and thought it had some interesting details, so was wondering if anyone can identify it?
I tried Google photo search, to no avail.

Hello
I'm not 100% sure. though I see some striking similarities to La Salamandre 1758.
The areas marked look quite similar, but maybe it's some other bomb ketch.
Not marking the middle section as it looks almost 1:1, but can't tell due to lack of angle to see behind your main mast
I hope it at least guide you to some direction where to look for

La Salamandre Bomb Ketch 1:96 - POF Kit
Shipping is included in the total price, please allow 14 - 21 days to fulfill the order!! The product is shipped from China!! Bomb ketches were difficult to sail. They had two large mortars on the foredeck in place of the foremast. The bomb ketches had to have a massive and firm hull, in order...

You're right, there are quite a few similarities to it. The capstan is missing, but it almost looks like I can see the portion of it below deck. Very promising identification, though, I appreciate it!
I've looked at the CAF version of La Salamandre 1752 and feel that is definitely it. I'm a bit surprised I didn't recognize it myself, as this model is one I was considering prior to getting the CAF Granado, and am considering for my next build. Nice deck detail, whish is something I very much like. I doubt I'd have the room to build it fully rigged, but the size is good for an Admiralty model. Shame to pay for the non-used parts, but we'll see.
Anyhow, thanks all for helping me identify the model.

Good to hear it
1/96 isn't that big, rigging would be quite tricky due to a size of pulleys, but with sails can turn out to cute model.
I'll definitely follow your build when you start.
Good luck
Oh, nice as it is, I couldn't do the 1/96 scale model. The CAF version is 1/48 and would be a nice companion to my Granado.Good to hear it

Glad you got it figured out, as I had no clue as what it might be.
Now that is has been identified by type and ship, I can see clues to help like no guns amidship due to the big guns in center.

Hey, interesting concept. Adds a lot of detail, yet saves some size, especially height, and looks really nice. I'm currently doing the Granada in POF, which I am enjoying, and have (now) done one rigged model, the Ragusian Carrack, so I don't think I'd mind doing the rigging at all. It's the finished size that is the problem for me. (The Admiral insists my models stay in my den, while I consider them household decorations and would like them elsewhere as well.)
