Hello Maria! It is such great news for the world of modelers, specifically SOS members. Your Leudo model has a big success here. Many thanks for the update!!!

Привет Мария! Это отличная новость для мира моделистов, особенно для членов SOS. Ваша модель Leudo пользуется здесь большим успехом. Большое спасибо за обновление !!!
 
HI MARIYA, I AM TALKING ABOUT THE BULKHEAD JIGS CAN ANYTHING BE SHOWN ON THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS ALSO HOW LONG IS JUST THE HULL. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE ALL DON
 
This is a very nice model and the kit looks well prepared - well done Falconet
In my opinion, this brass add-on of the cover should also be ordered - I am pretty sure, that it is looking much better, than a painted plastic one
Is it already soldered? - Maybe this content could be also shown.....
Due to the fact, that the pear version is more than double the price of the "normal" one - is it really all timber parts in pear? But how much of the pear will be really visible, especially when the hull is painted..... Was the hull of the original vessel painted?
You see with my questions - I am very interested in this kit.....

I was told that producer has no opportunity to make measurements, probably he'll make it later. Deck length ≈ 255мм
