Greetings all. Yes I'm still alive, kicking and loving life ;) -- I have been asked to clean-up and re-rig this model boat. It is supposed to be the HM Endeavour but doesn't actually resemble any online replicas, Artesania, OcCre, Billings or Airfix model nor the Australian HM Endeavour replica or the excellent Model displayed in the naval museum Torpedo Bay Auckland NZ. The model is approx 1/65 and plastic. By the layers of accumulated dust I believe it to be a very early production kit. Does any Learned SOS member recognise or able to identify the model or kit? All I can say is that it is a British Bark.... any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
(BTW what has happened to MSW? I had two posts re WW2 cruisers booked marked as reference and now nada, niet, nothing, like vanished)
Cheers Franco.

I think the Bounty may be a better match, you'd have to check the details though. As for MSW, it crashed due to a server hack, and is restarting from scratch.
Thank you, It's as close to the Bounty as possible. Makes sense after double checking online pic etc. Now I need to find who produced this model. cheers.
 
FOUND IT! Revell 1956 moulded 1:110 Plastic model kit, but possibly the updated 1978 version judging by the Windlass its probably pre 1978.
Many thanks to Jacques Cousteau (thoroughly enjoyed diving with your lot at the Poor Knight Is back in 70's) and AllanKP69. If not for you I'd still be chasing the Endeaver which is what the owner insisted it was. Cool stuff, Models are such fun and its a pleasure to be part of SOS. regards.
