Model Shipways 18th Century Longboat Wooden Model Ship Kit & Tools 1:48 Scale - MS1457CBT

This is a good entry boat to experience plank on frame methods. It is also a good prerequisite to the bigger version MS1460. This version has different challenges since it is a smaller in size, but this experience will be beneficial if you build the larger MS1460 which has other challenges that have to be addressed. I have built both with sails. In both, the bowsprit was mounted later in the build. The oar locks were mounted at the end of the build to prevent them from breaking.
