The kit was a complete kit 1:48 from Model Space. It took me 2 1/2 years to build but is now completed. My first time at plank on frame and I did struggle. I built the case from Meranti timber sourced from local wood yard and stained with dark oak, the glazing is Acrylic sheet. I apologise for the reflections. alemo attached the following image(s): Built: Bluenose, Arab Dhow, HMS Bounty, Hummer H1, D51, Spitfire,E type Jaguar.
In Progress: HMS Victory, , Yamaha YZR-M1
Adapt, improvise, overcome.

Fabulous work Alemo, you should be very proud of what you've achieved given that you haven't built 'plank on frame' before. It might have been a struggle but it certainly looks like you won the battle and I particularly like the cutaway on the starboard side - well done!!
The case also looks fabulous, very professional looking, I'd say you've done a great job all round - take a bow sir!!
