Brand new, open box. Boxwood sheets still in the shrink wrap with resin decorations, brass cannons and tons of brass details. It is a hull only kit with no masting material, instructions or plans. The instructions can be previewed on the Dru-Dock Models & Parts website, they are very complete. I have this kit available for sale on eBay if you want to purchase it that way. Somehow I ended up with two of these kits. Current price from Modelship Dockyard is $499. This will be a challenging kit to build since the scale is so small.

There are 2 pages of plans in the bottom of the box. Instructions are on line. It is a fine model but does require fine eysight and willingness to work with fine graduations of thickness (.5mm). I have the kit. Take your time and go slow and take care to look at the pictures in the instructions. Everything is cut well and fits tightly.
But.. the char must be removed. This can be quite a task. Not a model to be put together in a month or so.. more like 2 years.. I am 70. I also have the larger 1/48 coming and yes it is 2x the scale and quite a bit larger. One must be interested in how the hull is made in reality, these mirror that.. not a hahn model of artistic frames (although I love the way they look).
