The instructions are okay but are a bit vague. Especially around the rigging. It does build into a nice looking model once finished. It’s small size means it can be built quickly. I finished mine in 4 months working on it occasionally. Some modelling skills are required but can be built with a very modest tool kit. The picture on the box is a bit deceiving as it shows the model finished in Walnut but there isn’t any walnut supplied for this. It is a single plank on bulk head build which means care does need to be taken when completing the planking.
