Here are photos of a ZHL kit I recently completed. This is the Le Requim 1750 full rib kit. A Part 2 post shows another ZHL kit of the Black Pearl

I have also built this kit.
Its quite difficult but very rewarding. Looks like you did a wonderful job building it.

My only piccadello was figuring out the rigging...some of the lines didn't make sense given the lanteen style sails. Did my best but not saying it's correct!

Rock on Jim!! Love the red sails...

I agree with your comment about the rigging.
The plans were not very clear where tackle blocks and rigging hooks were located on the deck. I had some considerable head scratching trying to figure it out.

@danielsje and @Brian077 Jim and Brian. I guess a very good help would be the Monograph by Jean BOUDRIOT & Hubert BERTI LE REQUIN - Xebec - 1750
from ANCRE publications

LE REQUIN - Xebec - 1750 - Ancre

This monograph on the xebec LE REQUIN is based on documentation that gives us a complete picture of this ship. including all plans of the timber works in 1/48.

Uwe (@Uwek) made a great review of this book a while back. Please take a look, you will not regret thought.
