Hi All,

Well, the kit arrived today and here is a quick pictorial view of what the kit contains.

Now this kit (scale unknown) comes up at 16.25" in length.
One piece hull.(Not two pieces already stuck together -as per ebay ad)
One piece masts.
One piece yards.

All parts seem good and look like they need very little cleaning up.

So here`s the evidence

1:The box Pic 1


2:The one piece hull Pic 2
Looks very detailed on the outer surface(Planks,Tiles etc)


3:The sails, these are plastic, (may have a go at making some cloth ones)
we`ll see about that in due course .Pic 3


4:Rat lines, stand and some very small bits(don`t ask not sure at the mo)Pic 4


5:One piece masts,stern plate and gun decks complete with guns in situ(some delicate painting gonna be required at this point)Pic 5


6:Close up of the molded(one piece) gun decks.Pic 6


7:Decks and ships boats (ie wooden bits)Pic 7


8:One piece mast,anchors,flags and a few odd cannon that are loose.Pic 8


Now have to source the paints,glue and maybe some sail cloth, we`ll see about the latter item
later.

Well that`s it for now.

Will update later.

Looks interesting Derek, especially those 1 piece deck part with guns moulded on, certainly test your painting skills

I'll look forward to this one Derek. It's 1/96 by the way.

Plus, they've just released a wooden deck for it, only $99, seeing as you got the kit so cheaply

Hi Martyn,

Thanks for looking in.

I think this could be very interesting as well as intricate.

Hi Court,

Now, we have a bit of confusion here

The kit I have purchased does not have any scale on it.

So, I have had a look at the link you very kindly passed on, but that deck would need cutting into four bits so that one piece would fit.

Looking further into their products they do a 1/196 version which is approx 11 inches long and I think that is the kit I have.

Appears that Revell made two sizes of the same kit.

The good news from this is that the smaller deck only costs $24

The bad news is my eye sight is going to suffer

Thanks again for the link.
