Review Summary

The reviews highlight a mix of satisfaction and challenges with the model, noting its detailed design and enjoyable build process, though the older tooling often results in issues like flash, ejector pin marks, and part alignment problems such as bowed masts and misaligned shrouds. Many mention the sails appear fake but appreciate the included thread for rigging and the ability to customize with paint or weathering techniques. Overall, while the final result is visually appealing, the build can be frustrating due to dated manufacturing quality.

But it doesn't float

By: stevenkoski

Though sails seem very faux but what can you do ? but model is color cast dark brown to save excessive painting and comes with thread!

Challenging

By: no.1silverback (Mesa Az)

My first sailing ship. Lots of awesome detail. Had some issues with some of the long skinny,spindly pieces being a bit out of true,but some very hot water to soften then cold to harden took care of the problem. The sails look cheesy so I just went with full rigging. Enjoyed the change from my usual car or truck models.

A decent kit, but watch part alignments

By: mattj.mckendry

This is a pretty fun build. The rigging in particular is a good challenge, but certainly doable. One thing to watch for is a bow in the masts, in my kit the mizzen mast was slightly bowed, but by making the rigging on one side tighter than the other I was able to compensate. The shrouds also don't always line up as they should, but you won't know this until you go to attach the yard arms to the mast. Might be best to look ahead to the yard attachment steps to make sure your shrouds aren't obstructing the attachment points of the yards. These are easy issues to work around though, and the model looks great.
