I bought a few kits from China 2 years ago. Started them but never finished them. Started working on them again first of the year. I have completed 6 so far. Working on a China Black Pearl 1:130 now & Model Shipways Pinnace. I have 4 more china hits coming & just bought Model Shipways HMS Bounty Launch 1;16. I am also waiting for Artesania King Of The Mississippi Paddle Steamer 1:80. I will be busy for long time. This is a great site. I have found a lot of info that has helped.
