As a young lad, I built hundreds of plastic model cars. Back then, modeling was a great hobby, a way to spend time inside when the weather was no very nice. Though I tried to build some plastic ships, I was never very good at it. The molds never seemed to create a good straight part which required a lot of thought in how to make the pieces stay together while the glue dried. With that in mind, I never got into the actual wooden ships building. Plus the price was far too high for those kits. This full up kit comes with all the necessary components to build an actual wooden model. All the tools are included (paint, glue, modeling tool kit, vises). I reviewed the directions and they seem very well thought out and include a lot of pictures for reference. The boat parts include everything you see in the advertising picture of the completed model. The wooden frames which have individual parts are very flat which is the best starting point. I am retired now and am looking forward to building this kit. The best thing is the price. If you search for wooden boat kits, you find they are very expensive, costing many hundreds of dollars. If you are looking to see if this type of modeling in meant for you, here is a very affordable complete kit to give it a try with everything included to complete the model.Read full review

Absolutely perfect kit in every way. This is my second kit purchase and the first one was terrible with lackluster components and abysmal instructions. This kit is the epitome of a well rounded kit and perfect for an entry level hobbyist in this area. Very pleased with my introduction to this company and I will continue to do business with both Model Shipways and Model Expo.
