Be prepared with nerves of steel and the right attitude.
I used this kit to reintroduce myself into the world of miniature model building. I think I was either too ambitious or too old (or both). This model is SMALL. The construction wasn’t THAT complicated but… you really need a VERY steady hand. Full disclosure: I made a freaking MESS of the first attempt. So, I purchased a second kit and started all over. Learning from my first try, things went MUCH better on the second build. It’s not a ‘professional’ build, but it’s mine and it gave me a great sense of accomplishment. As a bonus, it gave me enough of a confidence boost to try something bigger. Best advice? Get the right tools! It makes the build fun and not a chore.

Great first kit, or real challenge for embelishers
This is the smallest, and most simple kit I could find, (price isn't bad either).I picked this one as a "first try at ship building", and glad I did.Have learned so much about sequences, rigging, and don't do's, that now I have the bug for moreThe kit instructions are basically just a what goes where layout, and really not an instruction set. Couldn't. find any on line for this kit either.half way through tying the rigging, and it has been fun. I have read where people say (4 hour build time), and this is true if you want to glue it all together and call it done.Parts fit well, and are all there. Great learner

Not for beginers
Ihave built quit a few ship models and this model is the hardest model I have ever seen'(1)The instructions are very poor and most of them are in diffrent languags(2)A lot of the parts were broken off and you have to figure out where they go and you have to be prefabracated or driled some of the parts so if you plan to do this model you need a nice machine shop just to get started.(3)The sails some of them arn't even numbered so you have to figure out what goes where.(4)Most important you need the pachants of an oyster and quite a few tools and paint. GOOD LUCK

Nice!
This is a nice model to get some experience before moving on to more challenging modelling kits. The kit could have been more attractive if decals or painting guidelines were provided.

Great model but a bit small
I loved the model but it was a little bit small. When I finish putting it together and painting it it looked good but was a bit small

My husband and I thought this ship would be a little biggre and harder to put together. It is missing a few pieces that we weren't too happy about.

Guter Bausatz
Wie immer von Academy ein hervorragender Bausatz. Obwohl Miniaturformat, dennoch sehr stabil. Bauplan ist auch sehr gut dargestellt.
