This is not a full review but more of a heads up for the first kit from a new manufacturer. I have no connection with the company.
I am impressed to say the least. 14 dark grey sprues plus 2 Hull halves, 3 clear sprues, 5 small photoetch frets, turned gun barrels and various wire thicknesses. Decals for 2 vessels.

First impressions are very good. Detail is very good. Fit is excellent.

Instructions are printed on glossy paper and are generally OK. Some part numbers are incorrect but it is obvious when you try to fit them.

Painting schemes are rather basic,and you will need research for detail painting.
