I just snag a wooden model kit of the USS Kearsage a cilvil war ship. The company is called Scienitific Models. Anybody ever heard of them.
They’ve been around for decades…good quality kits with above average accuracy.
This company was quite well known in the 50s and 60s.

Most ship modelers know of the Scientific Model Co. but not because of the model range they offer ( a lot) but the amount of carving and scratch building you need to do with thier kits. I have turned down work because the client wanted me to build a SMC kit. The fittings are O.K. but once you get into the model build part you will notice what I’m talking about. Also you will probally need to do a bit more research on the particular kit you are trying to build. Over all I would rate them about 6 out of 10.
