Yes. By the way I bought it on TaoBao using google translate for the whole website. Delivery to Canada is pretty fast through DHL and costed about $200, you just need to figure out how the system works, which may be tough....
The quality is very good. There is no european/american kit that could reach this level of quality and detail - only several other chinese kits like Inger, Royal Caroline and several others (and possibly american Confederacy). It's also the biggest kit on the market after chinese Bellona. For the kit-makers this is a very good option, if you can handle the size and price.
- be sure no parts are missing. pretty regular thing with chinese
- wood is very good. first planking wood for me was better than lime
- my main wood is cherry, also very good, much-much better than wallnut or what else europeans put (though the pear is still little better)
- canons and decorations (CNCed) are also very good.
Now, if you become peaky and want everything to be ideal as per Ancre plans of this ship....
- you need to check everything. Basically all the dimensions are a little different (sometimes up to 10 mm). Location of the gunports, location of the masts, length, height and camber of the decks. You should choose your approach - you always can just stick to the kit. Nobody will ever measure your model with a caliper and compare it to the plans, so it's up to you. But if you start, you would need to recheck and redo everything. It just depends on your intentions and your skills.
- Gun carriages are not of correct construction
- The rigging blocks and deadyeys are of correct shape and good qualities, but the quantity is something like half of what you really need, and you would need a bigger range of dimensions if you want to make it good.
Other staff is minor. Having an Ancre monography, one can build a real masterpiece from this kit
