Is that the Sergal kit ? There’s multiple Cutty Sark build logs here. Just use the search button above.

The kit is called Billing and the wood used is mahogany strip planking - scale 1/75

I'm currently building the Billing Cutty Sark from a vintage kit Cutty Sark Vintage Kit and there is another build from Harbour Hulk of the same kit HH Billing Build underway in the Forum.

I'm about 75% of the way through my build but I am mainly working on it during the Winter months so it is a slow build!

Yep, just finished her with lots of modifications. Did you have specific questions about the kit? Some photos attached.

Hi,

Very nice model! Did you do a log of this build, I didn't spot yours on the forum? There are a couple of builds of the Sergal and Artesania kits on the SOS but I like to compare what other people have done to avoid the pit-falls and pick up any tips!

My father started the build but has since passed on. I took over the build hence there is no build log.I will have problems with the rigging as i do not have all the info- probably was supplied but it is no longer with the kit.

There is also a good YouTube of the build by John Aliprantis and the link is also on the website
