thank you mr. freshney for your reply.a kind gentleman here in canada,has sent copies of the articles to myself.your model of hms kite is most impressive.i have only built my ships in 1/96 scale,so this is a new challenge for myself.it will also help the sorry old eyes when planking decks.i build mostly victorian era warships,as here in alberta,canada,they are never seen,and i also just love the colour schemes.i have been looking at hms kite ever since i saw the pictures from the model enginering exhibition where you won the silver medal.thanks again very much dennis kaye
