I need your help to identify a ship's identity...

[Takis]

Recently, I have discovered somewhere an already made ship in a really bad condition, and decided to save her from the trash and try to restore her beauty! The problem is that I cannot recognise her, in order to search for the initial plans and drawings. In addition, I don’t know the manufacturer.

I believe she is definitely an American two-masted schooner with top sails and she is heavily armed: 18 cannons on her deck! The flag is the 1818 US flag (the ‘Great Star’) which was the official flag until 1822. As you will notice, from her foremast to the bowsprit she has 4 jibs (instead of the usual 3).
The dimensions are L: 96cm (37.8in), W: 36cm (14.2in), H: 62cm (24.4in)

I would appreciate any help from you, guys. Can anyone recognise the ship?
Thank you in advance!


Thank you very much!

I like it as is looks like it's been to battle nice model though.

Update: I managed to identify the ship! It is Prince de Neufchatel by Constructo.
Phase II now is to find the original plans and drawings. I think the manufacturer is no longer in the business.
Any idea on how to get the plans?
Thanks!
