A tidy little model, fairly representational of the real thing. This is the second in this series of models I have tackled. For me there was not enough actual construction to do, but that may be all that some people want. The black plastic 'crows nests' I found to be a bit unrepresentative and made my own, but then I was looking for more detail to work on as this is what I enjoy doing. However the rigging I found to be a bit of a challenge but then my fingers are not the smallest or most flexible (I am in my early 70's). I will make a display case, soon, to keep the dust off the model as this can very quickly make the model look neglected. Hopefully I will add some photographs at a later date as I have not quite finished the painting.

Pretty easy to assemble but the mast ‘ropes’ are very fiddly for youngsters, if not beyond them. So the participation with them is limited. Sadly the amount of ‘rope’ if far too small to finish and hard to match from elsewhere

First stage of the 'build' was difficult, plastic pieces didnt fit into holes very easily, had to be gently forced. May be difficult all the way through to completion.

I haven't done much model making. The kit came with a ready made up hull, which can often be difficult to form with wooden strips and a frame. The instructions for the masts and rigging are not very clear, but I'm in no rush to finish the kit as the weather is getting better and I shall be out cycling or fishing. Everything came with the kit, but I used instant glue rather than the glue supplied and I stained the hull a painted the horizontal strips around the hull black with a marker pen. Yes I would buy another similar kit.
