I built this model in 1975 on a folding TV table with only an xacto knife and sandpaper when we were living in a one bedroom apt. I did a really crumby job, but it was my very first attempt and I had no idea of what I was doing. For some reason, I have never gotten rid of it and it has (more or less) survived our many moves over the past 44 years.
I am wondering if anyone knows what model kit this is. It's plank on bulkhead and fairly crudely done. For example, the windows and decorations are just printed on the wood, and I just painted them. I have no recollection of where I bought it or what ship it might be or what company produced the kit. The only thing I remember about building it is how shocked I was to find the masts and yards all came as square stock and had to be rounded and tapered. I just remember thinking, "Really? They can't be serious!" I have scoured the internet, but cannot find any leads at all. Does it look familiar to anyone?
Thanks,
David
