Help request – model ships

[Chuck TaperParticipant @chucktaper]

Trigger warning – this post contains reference to wood

I am searching for a specific wooden model boat kit/plan and not having much luck.

The vessel in question described here – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahabeah

Perhaps someone here with better knowledge of the Ship Modelling field could provide a few pointers.

Of course there is much “information” to be had on the internet but…… (needle in a haystack thing)

Appreciate any response given.

Regards.

Chuck,

Also try asking the question on Model Ship World in the Discussion section…. https://modelshipworld.com/forum/13-discussions-for-ships-plans-and-project-research-general-research-on-specific-vessels-and-ship-types/

The front page is here… https://modelshipworld.com

If you have info on the kit manufacturer name, era in which it was on sale etc that could possibly help folks tie it down.

Edit: Chuck, you’ll have to sign up to the MSW website to view/post in the Discussion section.

Looks like you might get some joy if you search for dhow

Didn’t think a dhow was a passenger boat, more a barge but if it will do then Sarik have plans for one.
