"Mayflower" Yuanqing models

[AlexSkripko]

Hi everybody. I'm sorry for my poor English. I started building models a few years ago. Assembled: HMS "Beagle" (Occre), "Adventure Pirate schooner" (Amati), "Gunboat" (Milania). On pause, "Brigantine Phoenix" (Milania) is a very small size for me. I ordered a "Mayflower" from Yuanqing Models. Who has information about the company? The address of the official website?

welcome to SOS forum and I am sorry, I do not know anything this company

I am not familiar with the mentioned company, but it is not uncommon for Chinese ship model manufacturers to sell their models under more than one brand name. A good percentage of the Chinese kits are simply counterfeit clones of kits from other manufacturers.

In this case, all I can tell you for sure is that this company is selling a kit to build a model we know little, if anything, about. No historical record of her appearance exists. They've just put the name "Mayflower" on somebody's fantasy of what a generic British merchant ship of that period may have looked like.

Thanks! I'll try to keep a log of the ship's construction. I have to get the kit on December 17th. If anyone has interesting information about the model, please share it.
