Had a look at the movie master and commander the other night just to see if I could pick up on any little details that could enhance the kit and I think I spotted a flaw. The ships wheel in the movie is positioned before the mizzen and on the model it is aft, I,m sure!. Also at the begining of the film the ship is described as a 26 gun frigate and we are building a 44 gunner and the rear decor on the stern gallery matches nothing I,ve seen on any model. Just thought I would point it out, not a whinch or anything but I would like a few comments from other builders on their thoughts and if anybody is building from the movie or the book as I think some are cos I think the book is spot on   . Cheers guys, Ian
