A good time building this model
I fully rigged this three masted training sailing ship. The ship itself has an interesting history. Parts went together well with a some sanding and file work. The provided fabric for the sails was somewhat difficult to cleanly cut. I used 10 different paints, 5 different glues, at least five different diameters and several colors of thread for the running and standing rigging and added some extra details. Instruction sheet could have been clearer. Take your time, and you will be happy with the results.

A nice model and fun to build
This is the 6th kit I have built of this particular model. It finishes beautifully if you just take your time and enjoy building it. The rat lines are somewhat difficult but I have learned
to double coat the rat line threads with white glue, with time to dry before each application. Building the model took me some 60 1/2 hours. I added 12 oz of weight in the hull, 9 different paints, 2 pieces of mini anchor chain and photo reduced by 1/3 the size of the flags before installation.
