Caf Model - New Kit 1/48 Le Coureur 1776

You are reading our mind, mates :) SOS made initial contact with CAF models in regards of the list of members potentially would buy this kit. While he don't mind, he is not ready yet. Currently the progress still on the design\testing phase and kit is not ready for production. Due to pandemiya he works in limited hours and his pilot model is not ready yet. He will update us when kit is ready for production.

We also ask Tom, to start a build log (if possible) so we can see the model assembly 'in action'.

Looks great. But, I have the same question for this model and models/plans for Alert: where’s the binnacle? If no binnacle then where’s the compass? If no compass on deck then how do you steer a course?

I am lucky to have the monograph on the 'Coureur' published by Ancre editions. There is indeed a binnacle on the plans.
It is located just behind the rear skylight.

Ted, it's a little early down here and I have not had my coffee but what's a SABLE

Hi Hedley,
A SABLE is someone who has a :-
Stash Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy
Modellers in all disciplines seem very prone to it, but perhaps boat modellers more than most, as they take such a long time to build properly!
Regards

Ted

Hallo @Vincep and all other interested.....
Please take a look at Jims post

Caf Model - New Kit - 1/48 Le Coureur 1776

with Tom's permission, I suggest admin start a thread for potential members wanting to purchase this model.
shipsofscale.com
Until now we do not have such a list and it will take some time until we will start such one - We are in close contact with CAF and follow the progress of the devolpement, but we will definitely inform you in time
