The Lindberg model has the yards in the correct position. Thats all I would think it takes.
Just a little dip into nostalgia. Having apparently made a case for being a decent modeler by the time I was ten, my father bought me a Model Shipways Gjoa kit. We went out together and looked over the real thing at the Western end of Golden Gate Park. Years later she was returned to Oslo, refurbished and put on display.
NEWS FLASH: Any serious study of ships needs to include Scandinavia. In Sweden there is Vasa, in Denmark the Roskilde ships, in Norway the Oseberg/ Gokstad ships plus the Fram and the Gjoa.
I have that model still.
He then bought the Fair American. I failed to make it look complete. I really wish I had the model still.
Oh, absolutely.
A friend gave me the Gjoa kit a couple of years ago, but it is NOT for sale, I do intend to build it. The generous friend also gave me the Newsboy kit. He has switched from wood to plastic- felt life was too short to waste on wood kits 
That is very nice! Good work!
Wow, I’m really pleased with all the discussion my post has garnered! That will inspire me to finish my current sailing ship project: the “Half Moon” from the same old Pyro-Lifelike line (also currently re-popped by Round 2). [:)]
Sidebar to the discussion here but I am about to finish a book titled “Knights of the Sea” by David Hanna. It concerns the HMS Boxer and USS Enterprise and their encounter during the War of 1812. Excellent read and goes into a broad discussion of the war and events leading up the the battle off the coast of Maine. Well worth the 10 bucks I invested in it.
