For the future. Is anyone interested in pirate ships? 
I would be interested in cutters\tenders\lugers (one-masted, not too many artillery), preferably in a 1:48th scale. The largest vessel type would be Fregates 24\32 guns.For the future. Is anyone interested in pirate ships?
С Наступающим Новым Годом!! Счастья, зоровья и всех благ в Новом Году!!!

If anyone is willing to help translate the manual from Russian to English, we are ready to discuss your terms .
.Hi Piroscaf, I have two questions.
First - Is it necessary to shape each part (frames and planks) in advance during construction? Is hot water enough for the wood used?
And - What exactly do you mean "does not contain 0.6 mm thick veneer"? Should it be used on some finer parts?
Thank you,
Radek

This sounds like a very interesting kit
Maybe you can show us some more photos of the completed model, so the members can see what they at the end get......

We will solve the photo issue in the next few days.
1. Yes, the parts will have to be shaped with water and then heated. There is no way to do it without that.
2. No 0.6 veneer to use at all, not even from personal supplies, the kit is 100% complete with the necessary parts.
