Great modeling and progress - especially in this small scale of 1:96 - Very good work on the beams, knees, platforms in the hold etc.
BRAVO
Only one short comment to the main beam midships - these beam arms are shorter, due to the fact that there will be the mast partners and the main hatch.
I think it will be hard to cut them later on when the beam is fixed in the model

see contemporary drawing of the Enterprize

But note that some of these plans are not 'as built'. They are for the Enterprize as a receiving ship for new recruits in 1787. Of course most of the structure is still the same as she was built.

Yes - but they defintely did not change the knees of the structure - in principle these beam arms were shorter than the complete width of the ship

Uwe is right with his comment. You can see the same on a lot of Contemporary drawings. Have for example a look at my Triton build log on page 3. There you can see the same detail.

Alternatively the builder just can cut them short,also Modelship Dockyard can mention that in the manual

So what is the projected release date and cost estimation for this kit ? Is there a target yet?

Hi Uwek, thank you for the suggestion, we will change that on later production.
