Trident Model - New kit design Bomb Vessel Granado by TridentModel

Trident Model said:
First of all, congratulations to CAF on launching Granado kit, which is a very successful kit and has a lot to learn from. Recently, many friends asked me about the development level of Granado kit and when to launch it. Now let's explain it here. Granado kit is the second kit designed by us. We are trying new ways from design and development to production and processing. Our designers try to restore Granado's structure more deeply, so the development speed is relatively slow. At present, it is expected to complete the design in May. Some photos will be released from time to time before completing the design. I hope you can make more corrections. Another news is that we plan to try to assemble a new kit in March this year, not Granado. Interested friends can pay attention. Another thing to note is that whether Granado or other kit, we will use CNC for processing and will not change. Thank you for your support and attention to the Trident model. Here are some design photos.

Трайдент, с Днём Рождения! Ответьте, пожалуйста в нашей личной переписке, есть большие проблемы с новой раскладкой деталей как в файле, так и на плашках. Возможность сборки Алерта с такой информацией невозможна!
 
I think that you follow in much details the AotS of the Granado.
Do you know the drawing ZAZ7930? I am not sure if Goodwin refers also to it or if this drawing was not known during writing the book. But it is in my opinion a really intersting source, because it was part of the contracts, which the Admirality has given to the shipyards for the different bomb vessels of the 1742 program. If you compare it with the information of the book you will find some really interesting differences.

Furthermore I like your reconstruction. It is clearly visible that other interpretations give another model of the same ship. It is interesting to see how CAF and you are coming to different results.

Hallo Christian,
would be interesting to know which details you recognized - the massive laying "knees" on / in which the carlings are bedded are not shown in the kit(s)
