USS Constitution 1/96 - stern according to historic reality

[HiSModel]

Dear modelers,

I would like to share with you informations about our new product. We started to make accessories set with Stern especially designed for USS Constitution in scale 1:96 (especially for Revell model kit). The stern design corresponds to appearance of the stern from 1812 (War of Independence) according to the information from book: "The 44-Gun Frigate USS Constitution" by K. H. Marquardt.

Set contains resin castings of the stern, the hatches of the two lower gunports, Davids - the lifeboat davit arms and the photo-etched windows. The resin castings fit exactly to the model kit of Revell and increase its realistic appearence. You can see attached photos of the the set below. And if you like you can also buy this set on our e-shop HERE.

PS: The photo-etched windows are now separated so you can fit them into the resin casting more precisely.

Looks good, but could you add a photo of the Revell kit part for comparison?

As it's for a manufacturer and not a modeller, Revell may have something to say about it

In what way? Copyright laws allow for limited use of examples for educational purposes. One photo of the kit stern plate is hardly enough to compromise the Revell kit. Actually, upgrades like this add value to the original kit and have the potential to increase sales of even discontinued kits.

Happened to me. If it can be confused for the original, and has the potential to cause the original to lose money you can find yourself in Court. In my case, even if they can could not demonstrate that they'd lose money, by showing them both it's implied that the original is an inferior product. Even in you win the cost is prohibitive.This goes away if you show only your product and do not show the original.
