Hi All
Here I am again. After finishing the Marmara I took a break to reorganize my workshop. By the time I was ending the Marmara trade boat, I got from ZHL MODEL the kit PEGASUS , a Statenjacht that possible never existed, but nevertheless, it is a magnificent kit to built.
This kit is built based on the "Statenjacht UTRECH" depicted in a very nice book In the american edition of the book, you can find all the plans for its construction, if you want to do it from scratch (link below). The big issue, for most of us, will be the carvings (See pictures below of Original and one of a kind model)
Those carvings is what make this kit stand out of the pack and expensive also ($~760 at ZHL MODEL- including shipping to USA). You can built the kit in its basic form or you can go a step forward and do a lot of scratch building to add details (Interiors as well as at the external deck).
The Pear Wood carvings provided with the kit are of high quality, they are not precisely identical to Ivan's model, but pretty similar.
You can find on internet pictures of a few finished Pegasus and you will realize that they are all diferent, because they all differ on the level of details added by their modelers. Remember, this is a basic model. It is up to you how you would like to finish it.
At SOS a Pegasus building log already exist. The model was done by a highly experienced modeler @Jeronimo (link and picture below).
And I did a basic box opening of the Kit here:
The Admiral is calling for lunch. I will stop this posting here. In the next one I will add more information about Statenjachts.
Cheers

DUTCH STATENYACHT 1767 by Jeronimo
My current projekt/model is the "Dutch Statenyacht 1767" in 1:50 scale, and is an almost identical copy of Ivan Trtanj's " PEGASUS ". I bought this notcheap Chinese kit mainly because of the plan drawing and detailed carvings, which I can not do that way. The few plan drawings are poor...

Statenjacht PEGASUS.
Hi all Without entering now to discuss the Statenjacht origins I wanted to show the kit. I will discuss all what I have collected about Statenjachts and this ship in my future log that I expect to start in a couple of weeks. I still have to take pictures of Plans and instruction Manual. Later...
