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.

You can download the rigging plans from the Billings website with this link

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

I built a Billings Cutty Sark model kit many years ago and believe it was the Kit now referred to , my son now has the model displayed in a case standing in the foyer of his home.
I modified the Kit build with some scratch build of my own at the time ,whether I improved it or not I do not know, however ,owners of an Inn displayed it foreveral years so my guess is thst it was okay .
If I could see a photo of the box the Kit came in I could verify whether
it is the one I built.
Best regards Winova , from Nova Scotia , Canada
