Looks like a scratch-built interpretation of what was known about the ship c 1967, after the stern sculptures had been recovered but before the restoration had gotten under way. Fred

Thanks for that Fred,would that also possibly explain the lack of bright colors on the model?.when were the bright colors on the Vasa first known about?.It seems that early models were trimmed in a blue,then later models in a red.

Before that, reconstructions of Vasa usually showed a blue backgraound with gilded sculptures. Fred
