Such restorations work requires lots of patience and skill. You doing a great job! 
Jim and to all others who have replied thank for your kind words really I didn't want to reveal but I am on oxygen 15 hours a day and a bit limited in what I can do but there are others out there worse off than me, time is not on my side now maybe you can see why I'm a little impatient. Someone has put me in touch with a dealer here in the UK who has some items that I'm needing so hopefully that will save some time but on both forums I don't think I will receive the answers that I seek still a few days away from that point.

Many thanks for posting the plan of the d'oro, Brandenburg yacht or brandembourg, which ever built in Germany ( Kohlberg 1678-79 like the book say's still to receive my copy) however which I will explain later. I should really also explain for 75years I was involved in aircraft both real and models and the 5 years before that I was learning to walk and talk so I hope you will all forgive me when I don't know the name of all parts of a ship. Getting back to the model this is only the third model I have seen namely that of one of the sails the others von Bremen, the one I have and the other which I posted under the post German state yachts. So I think regarding the info the seek I'm getting closer.

Well, I think, it´s obvious, that the Amati people used this Hoeckel plan from 1940 for their Prince of Orange reconstruction.
Here´s the link to the Jacobus Storck plan of a dutch yacht Hoeckel mentions that he used for his reconstruction: https://maritiemdigitaal.nl/index.cfm?event=search.getdetail&id=101061540

Let me first say I still have not received the book it is still in the post I have received a reply which really explains all from another forum.
I really thank you for posting what you did after all that's what I asked for and would appear I have wasted my money. Due to the reply I received and from other sources there is nothing in the book that refers to Amati what you have posted "the great yacht" was made into a kit by COREL but i think you already knew that,the link you posted not really sure where you are going I think i have a better drawing of that in my computer and with respect I have the model in my hand and it's nothing like that in your link I suggest the model I have goes back to the late20s or early 30s in 1940 there was a war on and I think a model ship would be the last think on anyone's mind let alone Amati.

Many thanks for your birthday wishes, have now handed it over to my son thinking he will make a better job than me. Which leaves me free to continue my build of the Dutch herring bus with CANNONS. Wait for the shock, but before that I really need to finish a little aero modelling
experiment.
