The kit finally arrived in a plain corregated cardboard box with instruction manual in Chinese, single plan sheet, and laser cut parts except for small dowels. I will likely swap out and upgrade some of the rigging fittings and lines.
While my Bluenose MS2130 is being finished I have time to study this kit carefully to better understand the insturctions via grap;hics as all text is in Chinese. I will bring some of my side research into the wreck discovery, recovery, and reconstruction to bear on how this model will be worked out and possibly tricked up according to the best underwater archaeological research papers on the Kyrenia and the three following reconstructions that have been build and sailed. Ships and boats didn't move very fast in the Late Bronze Age so I don't have to stress over a fast beaten tempo of rowing while there is no wind to fill the sail.
