I'm still waiting for the HMS Alert 1776 kit which I wanted to make my very first build. For now I do not want to build 2 kits simultaneously so it will most likely take a long time before I start on Le Coureur. However, I have been waiting since May and since I received Le Coreur kit from CAF I...
After being threatened by some senior forum members with walking the plank, a couple of sessions of keel hauling, Running The Gauntlet and some other punishments that are not appropriate to post I have given in and will start sharing my attempts to build le coureur from CAF. There have been many...

OK, to start with I received my kit in great shape, with shipping tape covering clear plastic wrap. The plastic wrap sealed the kit box and made for easy removal of shipping tape. When removed a nicely packed box was left.

The undertaking is not an easy one and surely there will...
