It would seem that the best anyone can do for a chineese Junk is the following links:

http://www.bestscalemodels.com/  ~You tried this one I belive
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140091881401   ~This is the same site but listing on Ebay

This is in Malay but  a couple of pics if you wish to try~ http://www.naga-pelangi.de/Naga_2/malay/

http://www.hobbyworldinc.com/woodship29.html
~This site actually has a full kit available. It looks like a static model however i am sure if you are keen enough you could convert it. It also contains the plans for it. The design is plank on frame.

Look under Wooden Ship Kits:
164-767-1 AMATI PLANS OF A CHINESE JUNK
Plank on frame construction
Dimensions: Length 15" Height 13" Scale 1/45 US$25.50


Let me know if you get it, and how you get on. I am interested in building it myself.

 ;D ;D That told you Bob. ::)

MCR you obviously have not been on this forum long enough to know that Shipmate60 is one of the most knowledgable and helpful blokes on here.
You will get as much constructive support as you need and a lot of humour as well.
May I be constructive and suggest you use the spell checker[ supplied by Martin at considerable expense ] on your next posting.

Richard ;)

Have you tried Mike Meyhew at Waverley models he sells a very good Chinese junk and his plans are excellent. I'd give him a ring on 01275 546772
