Santa Catarina ship by Linberg

  Thanks, EPinniger, the kit looks like it will build into a fine model, I'll keep looking for this jem, will you have the sails folded on the masts or completely removed ? keep us posted with photos.   Karl

Sorry for the delay, here are the photos of the kit.
It's a second-hand, partly built model, so the hull is partly assembled, and some of the parts are off the sprues and not shown in the photos.
As you can see, it has the typical Pyro injection-moulded "billowing sails". When I build the kit, I'm going to cut these off the yards (already tried this with a smaller Pyro ship, and it works OK) and build the model without sails. The moulded shrouds and ratlines will also be replaced with thread.

   Pyro's Gouda ship hull leingth from the figurine to the edge of the top of the poop deck is 11 1/2 " hull  has very good wood grain detail, please post the Santa Catarina photos thanks.  Karl

I have the Santa Catarina kit, in a Pyro box - I'll post some photos of the box and parts if you want. It's a 15th-century Portuguese "great ship" carrack, and the scale is around 1/200.

The Pyro Gouda is the same kit as the Lindberg one. I believe all of Lindberg's sailing ship kits, including the two current "pirate ships", originated from Pyro. Pyro's kits also appeared in "Life-Like" boxes for a while.
What is the hull length of the Gouda kit? As it's a fairly large ship of the line (17th or early 18th century I think?) I'd assume it would be in a smaller scale than the "Jolly Roger" (La Flore) which is a frigate, if the hull is around the same size.

Both these kits, like most of Pyro's huge range of ship kits, have been out of production for a long time, and I don't know of any retailers who still sell them. They occasionally turn up on eBay and don't usually sell for much (I paid about £6 for the Santa Catarina). There's a Gouda kit on eBay UK at the minute. You might also have luck finding one of them at a model show or kit sale.
