## Description

This is a fine model of a typical light frigate built in Britain in 1760. These ships were very fast and manoeuvrable and helped to give English supremecy of the seas during these troubled times. A double plank on frame construction, the kit contains:- Building plans with general details English instructions, lost wax brass castings walnut and lime planking, wooden masts and spars, brass and walnut fittings, laser etched details, rigging cord and silk flags. All sheet ply sections are laser cut for accuracy. Scale 1:60 Length 520mm

Review: A great model for starters, you can learn a lot. - This is very much an entry level model. Properly built it will be fine and something for display and to be proud of. The parts are laser cut but will need some lite sanding. Wood/plank bending tools will be needed for some stages. For those who spend four hundred pounds and expect an easy afternoon stress free model are honestly fooling themselves, these models are for craft modelers and some way down the practice path. No wood model is a glue and paint, all require patients and some level of knowledge. It will not go to plan first time, hence patients and rethinks. This model is simple and a very good starting point into the tall ship world. It will produce a good looking model but time as always must be on your side. The correct tools are essential. The instructions are very good but hand sanding and fixing knowledge are essential. As always the result will be in the flexible attention to detail. My only and best advice would be to dry fit before adding glue, this applies to any model at any level.

nice kit, but you need glue and wood bending tools

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for a beginner
*by H***Y on 6 January 2020*

Bought for my brother (30) and since I'm a feeble woman, had to ask the opinion of a man who enjoys building model aircraft, he said it looks impressive, didn't like the price too much, but it was a present, hes impossible to buy for, he wanted a wooden ship and I like pirate ships, so yeah, he was impressed with it, loved the little (brass?) Canons and detail, should keep him quiet for a bit, it looks hard to put together
