If the instructions do not have part numbers, this means that these parts must be made independently. I did this because it is not possible to guarantee at this stage of construction the exact dimensions of the place where these parts should be installed. The error is very large, and each modeler will have his own. Therefore, I suggest that the modeller make the simplest parts, which in fact are ordinary planks, on his own ... There are only two or three such moments in the construction of the entire ship. Yesterday I finished all the documentation on the "Bartolome" including the drawings, from Monday we will send the kit to everyone who bought this ship.Pavel, missing license plate and number details, how to do?

Thanks Pavel. By kit, do you mean the final part of the manual and the drawings? Have we heard from Oleg? With the help of him everything would be easierIf the instructions do not have part numbers, this means that these parts must be made independently.

That looks like an amazing kit, I’ve not seen this this brand before, different and very interesting. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Your build so far is really good and your log makes for enjoyable reading. Just keep going. Ken“Pavel Nikitin Ships” store presents a new sailing ship wooden kit, a 24-gun galleon ship “San Bartolome” in retro style.
Historical background.
This galleon supposedly was part of the Spanish Invincible Armada led by Alonso Perez de Guzman, 7th Duke of Medina Sidonia, in May – September 1588. The Invincible Armada was battered in multiple battles with the Anglo-Dutch naval fleet composed of light and maneuverable ships led by Charles Howard. This clash is known as the Battle of Gravelines. Elizabethan Pirates excelled in that battle, especially the notorious Francis Drake. The confrontation between Spanish and Anglo-Dutch fleets lasted for two weeks. The Invincible Armada could not regroup and, refusing the invasion, headed North. English fleet followed Armada along the East coast of the British Islands. The Armada’s return was very challenging: it had to go through the Northside of the Atlantic Ocean along the West coast of Ireland. Due to strong storms, Armada’s ships were taken to the far North and West shores of Ireland. During this expedition, The Invincible Armada lost more than 60 ships, and only 7 of them were lost in battles.
