Modelship Dockyard - New Kit [Modelship Dockyard] PoF H.M.S. Enterprize 1774, the 1/48 version!

For just a moment I thought the price was in US Dollars and that it could possibly incorporate Trump's tariffs...

Does this kit go through Dockyards or does it come straight to me. I’m concerned there will be a holdup due to tariffs or some other nonsense.

Hi Victor. I have this kit on order, and l'm eagerly waiting delivery. Before l begin, l have a probably stupid question. Looking at these photos l see the chocks are all oversized in the frames. ls there a reason for this or is it that they just are. They are obviously sanded down when the frames are faired to shape.
 
Keef, Victor may have other reasons, but keep in mind that the inside of the frames are faired as well as the outside of the frames so extra wood is needed. There is actually more to it but the shape of chocks and the cut into the futtocks was angled but many builders don't bother except where there is heavy beveling. With cant frames fore and aft, it is not a huge issue, but should be watched. Below describes this if you want to go the whole nine yards.

We have indeed given some spare on the chocks for modellers to choose their ideal way of making this section. It is optional to do like what Allan have shown, to create the bevel.
 
It has gone very quiet regarding the Enterprise. Has anyone else ordered this kit yet? Could we have some news please when the orders will start to be shipped
 
Hi guys,
For the many modellers that have chosen us on the 1/48 Enterprize, I would like to say a huge thank you! Sorry for the waiting, we have been working hard to get the carvings done with excellent quality, which have taken us a bit longer than expected. We will be sending the kits out this weekend, I hope the kits will reach to you all soon.
