Finally unboxing the Golden Hind model from OcCre, which I got back in October 2024. My particular interest in this ship comes from its connection to Sir Francis Drake, who attacked Cartagena de Indias in 1586, with the Golden Hind serving as his flagship. This one joins my growing collection of ship models with fascinating stories behind them.
Since I’ve had issues with other kits arriving without all the necessary parts, I’ll take some extra time to carefully check that everything is included. I’d rather catch any missing pieces now than end up putting the build on hold later while waiting for replacements.
