peterairfix, nice. It is good to see one building the kit out of box w/o all the tricked out options. I have tucked under my bed a copy of the Le Sol Royal. I purchased this last year and also got the wood decking for it. Every time you see the French Man of War being built all you here is how inaccurate it is! But on the whole, it is the only 1/100th scale kit out there in plastic and as you have done, will be built as it comes out of the box, well except for the wood decks. Looking forward to more of the build.
