I ebayed this kit too. Oh, didn't mention that above? Yah, the Harvey was an Ebay find. New, unopened boxes, the kits 25-50% off retail - if you dig. Kickass.
If Artesania Latina is an example of a perfect company, with detailed instructions, how to's, wonderful plans, instructions matching plans matching box pics, Amati isn't.
The box shows light wood stained light red for the hull - the kit comes with dark walnut.
This was sold as Captain Kidd's ship, the Black Falcon: Kit.
I had a question about planking pattern, started looking around. Found a couple of slight problems:
1: the model in question has elements of ships built in the mid 1800s. Kidd was hung in 1701.
2: Kidd's ship was the Adventure Galley. He captured the Quedagh Merchant, renamed the Adventure Prize.
A close approach of Saturn and Jupiter. From Earth, the orbits of their moons overlap - though most of their moons are too faint for my litle telescope to see.
