Surprisingly nice kit
I had my doubts, but this turned out to be a surprisingly nice kit and a remarkable value. The laser-cut wooden pieces fit very well, and the brass parts are beautiful. There are a few instructions in Chinese, but the assembly diagrams are clear and self-explanatory. I may even buy a second one.

Cheap kit, cheap wood, poor instructions
The description says it’s good for beginners. This is not true. Instructions are in Chinese, and even when using Google lens to translate it’s obvious that they are incomplete and skip steps. The wood is too flimsy to bend to do the hull planking, and the laser cuts are inaccurate and in many places too close to the edges and result in breaking pieces, even when using a hobby knife to cut them free. I thought maybe it would be okay, but as with all items on Amazon, if the brand is in all caps, do not buy it and expect much.

Better than expected.
TLDR; (better than you'd think but if you've never modeled before build a tank or car or something then come back to this.) The package it shipped in did not inspire confidence, however the contents did not suffer any damages in transit. This is one of the cheapest kits I could find and it being my first model ship and not wanting to ruin a more expensive ship with my lack of knowledge and experience, it seemed a good trade off. This kit is better than I thought it would be for the price the parts and wood are of good quality and this kit comes with some extras like brass cannon and metal anchors. It is however lacking in some areas, Instructions are in Chinese but with pictures. You can follow along in most areas with no problems if you have built a model before. The instructions for decking the hull are non existent and the rigging are insufficient to put it kindly. Those problems can be bypassed though with quick google or youtube searches, so to close I would say the kit is better than the price would suggest but may be beyond a first Model. Maybe a third.

Surprisingly good
Great design. Not a beginner kit. Instructions could be better. Needs full size scale plans.

Not for beginners
Product is not for beginners, instructions are not specific on how to assemble it correctly. Wood is too fragile and not all parts are precision cut to fit correctly
