Building the Revell 1\96 Spanish Galleon

Mark,

I actually have the Revell 1/96 English Man o’ War which is the Spanish Galleon with a bonaventure mast added. I’m not sure which kit came first, but for all intents and purposes, it’s the same.

On topic, I haven’t seen any decals for the other sails unfortunately either by Revell or anyone else. Bill’s suggestion about Radek would also be mine.

The Imai/Ertl Spanish Galleon is one of the finest plastic kits I have ever had the pleasure of building!  I have seen many wonderful models made from that kit; Kirill's and David_K's are among the best.

The Imai/ERTL 1/100 Spanish Galleon certainly is plastic.

I keep looking at that kit in one of my bedroom closet shelves and think about Kirill 4's build as well as David K's and wonder if I'll ever have the nerve to get it down and build it.

The Imai/lee kit is plastic isnt it .

Thanks Bill, I could have sworn I saw plastic on his forum page.I thought it looked awful damn good for plastic. I know Radek,I've gotten quite a few things from him- they are very personable there.I will ask him about the decals,thanks much for the info.

Mark,

Kirill is building the Imai/Lee 1/100 Galleon kit, which is an excellent kit.  The Revell kit is very much different.  Anyway, you might be able to find the accessories that you are looking for at HiSModels in Czechoslovakia.  Radek (the owner) runs an EBay store, although you can also skip EBay entirely and simply do an internet search under HisModel.  Radek specializes in sailing ships of all eras, and has some of the best fittings, sails, cannons, and flags that I have ever seen marketed.
