Help needed - simple kit of Captain Cook's HMB Endeavour

To my knowledge, the Airfix kit is the only plastic Endeavor ever released. There are several wood kits, but they're all pretty sophisticated - and expensive.

This is just the way it works in the tiny world of plastic sailing ship kits. It's rare for any ship to be kitted more than once (though it does happen).

Could your son be interested in the Bounty?

John is correct; the Airfix kit is the only plastic model of the Endeavor.  It is a nice kit that is simple enough that your son could probably build it with good results.  And, having been rereleased last year, it should still be reasonably priced and readily available.

The old Revell Bounty is still pretty widely available. It's the sort of kit that can be simple or challenging, depending on what you want the finished product to look like.

Good luck.

My kid may be interested in Bounty as long as can be connected to aussie history

Indirectly. Her Captain, William Bligh, was the fourth Governor of New South Wales, post his experiences on the Bounty

Diego,

I will search for one.  It should be relatively simple to find.

I have a lead.  Where should I have it sent?

I have the Airfix kit in my stash, hope to get it on the bench in about three months or so.  From what I can see, it is a pretty nice kit and I am looking forward to starting the build.

Well, an alternative may be the paper model by "Shipyard", but maybe too complex..

Probably the easiest and best option would be the Airfix kit though.

I have a friend who is also a History teacher in my school.  He is willing to donate this kit. Please email me or message me with your address and I will have it sent immediately.
