Hello Robert

Congratulations on your Sultana!
It looks really good!

Did you replace the white metal items by your own scratch built parts? Just curious...
Also (as usual, I have to say something that could improve the model), have you considered replacing the flag, for:
- a real cloth one;
- a homemade using tin/lead sheet (like those found on wine bottles), painted and give a natural fold to it?
Just a thought

Congratulations,
Rui
