An excellent model, details on the resin hull are outstanding Masts, boats, stern plates and anchors are in cast metal. You get an assortment of sterns so you can personalise this first rate according to your taste. You will need to purchase some micro drills as the mast holes are not deep enough and the resin hull lacks side holes for the rigging. Medium to advanced modelling techniques are required for good results. I recommend that you start with the Master & Commander set before purchasing this kit. Highly recommended
