Falconet Leudo vinaino boat in 1:48 scale

I just purchased the Leudo today directly from Falkonet and it already shipped!!! I got it in Pear with the optional sails and bronze anchor....

On my list as soon as postage problems return to normal!

What postage problems??? LOL...

I agree Mike. My longboat has already been customs cleared in China after only 4 days of shipment from Russia.

Yep Mike, On reflection I thought ah well maybe this is the best its gonna get so ordered one last week. The clock is ticking!

Well guys - I pulled the plug on this one as well! Like Mike, I ordered the full Pear wood version, optional sails and bronze anchor and rod.

Same here, in pear with anchor and rod.
I emailed Falconet to confirm sails were included in the kit but now I'm worried it's only the cloth.
Ah well , I'll have to take sewing lessons from the wife now!

Hello, Hesley, ready sewn sails are optional as well as a bronze anchor. The kit included the cloth for sails.
