Arrow 1812 Schooner?

There was a nice Lindberg 1812 Sandpiper schooner, when I was a wee lad.

Has anyone ever made a similar era two master?

I know a previous thread offered a schooner [Schooner Isolde]:

Schooner Isolde

but it no longer appears enabled and I haven't found anything similar to this favorite of privateers and merchants of the era.

Have I missed one?

Thanks!

Don't know any 1812 schooner in paper.
Shipyard has a model of an older (around 1780) topsail schooner, the "Berbice".
WAK offers a mid 19th century schooner "America".
Can't say anything about the quality of the kits.
Good luck!

Both the Shipyard and WAK kits are great, as both are top-tier publishers. I don’t know of any currently published models that are specifically privateers from the 1812 period. WAK is bringing out a model of a Royal Navy combat brig from the Revolutionary era that could probably be re-worked into something close to your preference. There are also the smaller wargaming kits from Jeff Knudsen (War Artisan).

Yea, you're right.

To get thesis I want I'll have to either scratch build or but an old plastic kit!

I did get some good tips from modeling' pals though.


The Isolda:



S/V Isolda, Göteborg


She's fifty years off but looks like a nice kit. Hope someone find this useful.


I was also told about this one, the America:




Fly Model Nr 11 SBD1 Dauntless - American dive bomber deck





She's a hundred years difference but looks like a nice kit to share. Hope it finds an interested builder.



I might kit bash from these?
