Hapdong

Hapdong also makes the Tirpitz and Bismarck, and the modern Enterprise in 1:400 scale.  

I live in Korea and have bought many kits over the past three years, very cheap by the way.  I've looked at the kit in question. It's not an Academy kit.  Though Academy has a "Cutty Sark" model it is not of the same scale.  Hapdong is a Korean manufacturer.  The company name comes from "Hap-dong" a place in the country. . I've bought a 1:35 scale AH-64D Apache.  It's very good.  There's a rudimentary web site {www.hapdongtoys.co.kr) in Hangul, the written Korean language.  There's also an AH-64A that was apparently issued some time ago.  A search of You-Tube will get you a review of a Hapdong AH-64.  The review was a bit stilted but the reviewer recommended the kit..  I've also purchased a Hapdong WWII U.S.S. Missouri in 1:400 scale as well.  I'm no expert but it looks pretty good.  I've seen Hapdong E-Bay, including the "Cutty Sark" and the Apaches

skorecko , the stand in the kit is the same as in the Academy kit in your link. so it looks like it is the same kit .

Thanks everyone for the help.

Hapdong is a new name to me.  It sounds like an East Asian reissue of - well, something, but I have no idea what.  (The stated scale doesn't help much.  We had a most interesting discussion here in the Forum recently about the various plastic H.M.S. Victory kits on the market.  It turned out that scarcely any of them were actually on the scales the boxes claimed.)

Quite a few companies have issued plastic Cutty Sark kits over the years.  (I'm assuming this is a plastic kit; is that correct?)  The ones I can think of off the top of my head are Revell (three kits on different scales), Imai (on two scales), Monogram, Academy, Aurora, Pyro, and Airfix (on two scales).  I suspect there have been others.  And several of those kits have been reissued under the labels of other manufacturers.  (The two Imai ones are currently available in Aoshima and Revell Germany boxes, and I believe the larger Imai kit appeared briefly under the Monogram label.)  Do you have the facility to post some pictures?  If so, somebody might recognize this Hapdong one.
