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.

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.
