Got this from Croppers with Xmas and birthday vouchers. Not a cheap kit. Started it before Telford
The kit contains wood decks, lots of turned brass parts and two large frets, one brass, the other is nickel, plus of course, the plastic.
You could build the ship without using any of the extras but it would be horrible. The moulds are to be diplomatic, not to modern standards. Plus there are one or two errors in the instructions that could catch you with your pants down.
You can probably see lots of filler and shims with more to come. the moulds are quite tired, plenty of flash, slippage and mismatches. Disappointing so far.
These are the only pics I've taken to date, so lots more to come.
Haddock.
