If you have plastic sail sheets, you can always try use some kind of white fabric and pack the sails, I think that would look nicer than plastic sails. 🙂 Have not done that myself yet.

Yes I believe that would make it look better. But it would take a lot more time and as I usually build aircraft, I don't want to spend too much time on this model. It's something nice for a change and a great holiday souvenir

Treehugger... I have a couple of SOL in my stash that I plan to build in a couple of years when I retire. I have been putting a lot of planning into the builds and one thought I had was using the vacuum-form plastic sails, that came with the kit, as a form to shape the cloth sales I intend to use. I don't want the cloth to look out off scale so I plan to use something very thin and smooth and then use some stiffening agent like starch I guess. I think it will make a big impact on the kit because the plastic sails look...plastic 🙂

Sounds alright, but indeed, finding the right cloth won't be easy.

Btw, if you like sailing ships, you might like the Horatio Hornblower movies. Set around 1789 and onwards. They made a few of them, not too long ago, a remake. Four of five movies rated 8 and higher on imdb, one rated 7.9. 🙂
