the other thing with this kit is that bollards, fife rails, mast caps, ect. are all laser cut out of plywood. ok i guess if you are painting the pieces, but useless for staining as the ply edges look terrible. i have to make all these parts from scratch now. not a big deal to make but it seem that the only useable parts in this kit are the bulkheads, keel, planking material and some fittings . im starting to get that ripped-off feeling.
