You also can take a look at www.modelbouwtekeningen.nl and search for "NVM 10.01.007 Gaffel kanonneerboot, groot model (1821)".
I put the link below.

If you order that construction drawing you also could request for the building report from the magazine "Modelbouwer".
Good luck.
Kind regards,
Hans

Check the Netherlands National Archieves:
See: https://www.nationaalarchief.nl/ond...-HaNA_4.MST_449?eadID=4.MST&unitID=449&query=
www.nationaalarchief.nl
The ship is based on the older 'large gunboats' or gaffelkanonneerboot. Most famous of the older ships is the boat of Van Speijk who blow up his ship.

would be great to see some more photos of this model - looking very good - and definitely a very interesting vessel

Wanted to post a link to the Dutch National Archives, but the link has already been posted.
But, eh, you're wrong about the nationality. Holland has never been a country (not even in the 16th, 17th & 18th century), it's a region in the western part of the Netherlands.
PS: I'll have to correct myself, between 1806 and 1810 there was a Kingdom of Holland, created by Napoleon Bonaparte with his brother Louis Bonaparte as king. This puppet kingdom lasted for only 4 year though......

Could you please upload a better image of the leganda, enlarging the text from the picture (as it is now) renders it almost unreadable. However if the legenda is is in Dutch, translating shouldn't be an issue (as there are several Dutch readers of this thread)
