Conclusion
I like these small kits. It's not easy to build, lots of patience is needed but the result is always pleasing. I wish boats in this quality would be on the market in 1.64 scale for the royal navy, the British Navy and else. Falconet, like other Russian manufacturers, always offers beautiful small models here that produce great results with high-quality materials and a reasonable price.
Unfortunately it has become difficult to purchase these kits, but here at SOS you can contact @Walterone who is very happy to help and make contact and handle the process, which has always worked without a hitch. Thanks Vladimir!
