Kit parts arrived very well packed in a big and heavy box, with a missing "t" in its name.
There will be a bit of a kit bashing process, since some of items included are not quite of a good quality, but can be used if needed. Kit has very similar appearance as some other vendor' product of the same ship but this can just be a coincident.. First impression, it appears to be a worthwhile building adventure.
A short history of the ship is presented on the side, with missing "t"..
While opening box, I noticed very nicely packed and protected parts, all in two individual boxes, one containing all planking material and yards, second all other hull related items.
Smaller box has planking boards (this is double planking model), sails material and yards..
Some rubber bands were broken but other than that, all is well packed and protected. White styrofoam was all over the place, preventing unnecessary maneuverability of items in the boxes.
Basic installation instructions, with some pictures might provide some guidances but I believe, a bit more research with be needed. There are few other build logs on SOS, expecting no mayor issues working on this model.
French insignia, unfortunately printed only on one side will needs to be separately made, using included in the kit as an example.
There are 4 plans in this kit, not sure if they are detailed enough but will find out during assembly process.
Small pieces are well packed..
Wood apparently of a nice quality..
Hull parts are made of plywood, laser cut..
This is a big ship/kit...
The main mast will need some work as it appears to be a bit twisted..
Happy modelling..
