    Maybe Gunner can post a picture of one of his built Davcos with the opposite driver and jib sail configuration? I'm not building mine that way. I could take a photo of them lying flat but I'm not sure you could really see what we're talking about. I'll try.

    I thought of that, but the forestay sail should be on the inside of the jib sail. If you bend them the opposite way then the forestay sail is on the outside of the jib sail, again that would be wrong. I guess I'm nit picking but I want my ships to look as right as I can get them. It really isn't that much trouble to make the sails out of brass sheet. I just didn't expect to have to do it for every Davco. I've already marked and cut out sail sets for almost a third of the Navwars so far, they go pretty fast. The masts and spars take longer.

    Sorry, I don't know why, but I was thinking of the masts, not the driver, jib & fore sails. After checking some of my complete models (built 20 years ago and fought many scores of battles) no one ever noticed, but their sails are as you described. Try pressing the driver sails flat, then with your finger give them a slght bend in the opposite direction. I'm leaving mine alone.

They blow in the opposite direction from the driver. I checked all of the Davco ships and they are all the same, the spanker is curved to port and the jib & forestay sails are curved to starboard, what's up with that? So now I'll be making some new sails.

The Navwar Razee' has 58 guns and the Davco Razee' has 32 guns, and they don't look like the same ship class at all. I have the same situation with the GHQ and Langton Spanish Montenez. Makes me wonder if any of these companies are really doing the research to sculpt ships accurate to their class.
    One thing in Navco's defence is I think the castings were made before the internet and their information resources were limited to libraries.
    And even today the GHQ ships seem a smidge smaller than Langton, but are more detailed (sharper castings).

    The good news is (at least for now) there is only one manufacturer of 1/1000 ships and hopefully all of the rates will be in scale to each other.

    By the way, I found some GHQ packs. Let me know if you grew a third arm and are interested.
