Hi there,
Congrats on your purchase. Which Japonica have you purchased, or is she one of the Jasmine [same design], very interested.
If your still interested in a Japonica Model, I may well be able to help you as we are looking into re-developing the Broadland Classics model boat kits. However, Japonica would most likely be a static scale display model, with her full sailing dinghy kit included, if we do decide to take on the venture into a new light.
Would be good to hear from you and your old classic out there.
Cheers
