Fun Build
I built this with my then 7 year old step son. It went together well. The instructions were clear. I only used glue to join the yard arms to the masts. The snap wasn't tight enough for them. Overall a pleasure to build and provided a good bonding experience for myself and my step son.
Good starter kit for older children
Overall I think this is a wonderful model for older children looking to get into the modeling world. It goes together well, no real small easily breakable pieces to worry about. Overall I think it offers a good opportunity to experiment with paint as it comes in black and brown only.
good model at a great price
very nice model. easy to put together could use a good paint job if that is desired
