USS Constitution

[Jaydee37]

I'm building the Revell 1/96 USS Constitution and I'm a bit confused about the placement of the Yards and the Studding Sail Booms. If I rig the ship with full sails the Yards are in the raised positions and the Booms are in the Outboard positions. Is this correct?

Hi Jaydee,
They are as you have said , from the drawings and paintings I've seen of the USS Constitution , the studding sail booms only go half way out , maybe this artist license who did the drawings and paintings I don't know. ( makes displaying much easier)
