Hello @kidsgalore There are no updates, SOS in tight contact with @Trident Model and production of the kits didn't resume in full capacity as not all of the suppliers resumed their work. Please be patient. In fact, it is a perfect time to browse SOS for a build log of your interest! 
ok thanks.............. yes been having a good look through thanks

I'm sorry that I haven't updated it for a long time. Due to the epidemic, my assistant hasn't come back to work. I need to process kit in the daytime. Due to the recent adjustment of the development plan of the new kit, I need to communicate the design scheme with the designer in the evening, so I seldom show up with you recently. If there is no special case, kit will be ready next month.
Looks like a superb kit, and the attention to detail is second to none. Well done!
A couple of quick questions: -
1. Do you include timber for the underwater planking (clinker built)?
2. This would be an even better kit if it could be made in boxwood rather than cherry - Boxwood is harder to work with, but holds an edge so much better. Have you thought about perhaps producing the kit in boxwood as a special order for those who want it? Obviously the cost would be higher!
Regardless of your replies, I still intend buying the kit!

Hi Tedboat,
as a matter of fact, I contacted Trident model about this very topic. He said that he could possibly do a special order in pear wood, but boxwood is problematic. cheers.

Hello everyone, kit is expected to finish production on May 20. Here are some pictures of wooden boards and English manuals. Kit has sold more than 80 sets in China. We are correcting some problems in the manuals. It is expected that next month, we will show you the development process of the next kit.
This is very good news
Many Thanks for the update of the status - looking very good
I cant wait to see this kit in action and all the builds in the group build
Excellent
