just ordered zhl royal caroline x 1:50 and was wondering if any of the members here have any experiance with this particular build. i have read that the carving and laser cutting is superb and much better than most of the north american kits.

Hi,maybe different scale but Zhl
HMS Royal Caroline kit ZHL 1/30
In April I bought this kit from ZHL for its beautiful carvings and extremely detailed hull and rigging. The model I am building is the version including masting and rigging with carvings in box wood. There are several version out there which vary in 3 different wood sets for the carved part...

Hi Zoly, actually the 1:30 Royal Caroline I purchased from ZHL, but the kit is from Lu Hai Quing Kong. Lu Hai is only producing two models, the RC and also an excellent POF Le Requien. I don't know the make of the 1:50 Royal Caroline but I have seen build logs on 4H model and also these carvings look superb.
