Mantua kits make nice looking models and tend to look like the ship. However, the rigging of the vessels are usually grossly incorrect. They use the same generic rigging on every ship and pay no attention to the time frame of the ships construction or country of origin. The rigging plan for the Sovereign of the seas, for example, would not even come close to how the ship would be rigged until after 1740. OVER 40 YEARS AFTER the ship was destroyed and 100 YEARS AFTER her construction. Even then, many lines were not rigged correctly regardless of the time.
