Just added this to the stash. I have been looking for something different and have fond memories of building an Airfix Chinese Junk as a kid, so these seemed like a good kit to scratch that itchBigGrin

This is not a massive kit or model, keel is 30CM. materials quality is ok and there is a reasonable mix of wood metal and resin parts. the boats are resin cannon and carriage cast bronze effect alloy. what is nice about this kit is the decoration. the complex decoration comes as dry rub transfers which will be interesting to apply to wood. much of the deck fittings come pre fabricated.
The more complex part of this build is the sales that need to be stitched to the bamboo rods. there is plenty of three included as well as a pre fabricated roof mat

The instructions appear to be ok with english text and reasonable illustrations. the Instructions are further supported by a single sheet plan of general arrangements and the rigging plan.
