    I purchased this kit after seeing the work done by member Graham in England. My kit had some missing parts (took 2 weeks to arrive from Italy) and I was not sure how far I could build ahead. Many thanks to Graham for his help.

    Artesania Latina Endeavour Longboat 1:50

    I purchased this kit this year after I did a major rebuild on the AL Endeavour 1:60 that I built 31 years ago. The plans have a few minor errors but they are easy to spot. Fun little boat and it looks good with the mother ship.
