One of my next projects will be the HMS Granado Cross Section by the Chinese company CAF. One of the few Chinese manufacturers who are committed to acknowledge the work of others and respecting copyright.

History:
Granado was one of twelve bomb vessels that were built to supplement the depleted bomb vessel fleet at the outbreak of the War of Jenkins' Ear in 1739 and the ensuing War of Austrian Succession. These small ketch-rigged vessels were designed for laying siege from the sea and were built to accommodate huge and heavy mortars with tremendous recoils. 


Ordering and getting in touch with Tom from CAF were easy and the package arrived within a week from China.

As a small teaser here are some pictures of the kit.

Today I post a little update of the Granado build :-)

I cleaned all parts from the milling dust.

Started with the keel and a first frame.

As there are some quality issues with the frames (I will get some replacements) I changed over to the mortar.

This looks like a beautifully made kit. Looking forward to how it turns out.
