Good to hear you've decided to take on the Swift as a first build, once done you should be ready to move onto something a little more challenging.... Look forward to seeing the progress you make..... Regards Alan

Hey Greg,
good luck with your ship builds.The major benefit of the model space kits is the instructions in my opinion.Model shipways make nice kits and their instructions are pretty good, but nothing I have ever built matches the model space instructions.The Swift was my first wooden ship.Its a great beginner kit.
