I am parting with my ZHL Le Requin 1/48 Scale Plank-on-Frame (POF) Full Boxwood Edition kit. As most of you know, this top-tier version retails for well over $1,100+ new due to the comprehensive premium timber and ornamentation package. You may have seen some other logs on the site included mine showing the warp in the keel. For many this is a slight defect that is not an issue and may want to proceed with the build as is. I have attached photos. For others you can scratch build the components with the attached documents and plans depending on your building style.

What is Included (100% Complete & Untouched):

Beyond the pre-assembled hull skeleton, the rest of the kit contents are entirely brand new, complete, and untouched in their original factory packaging:
  • Premium Boxwood Package: The complete, immaculate set of CNC boxwood carvings, stern decorations, figurehead, and sculptures.
  • Armament & Metalwork: All 24 precision turned brass CNC cannons, cast anchors, and photo-etched brass sheets.
  • Lumber Stock & Rigging: Complete, untouched bundles of wood stock for planking, decking, and masting, along with all blocks, deadeyes, and rigging lines.
  • Plans: All original 1:1 scale blueprint sheets and construction documentation.
I am in Barrington Illinois and asking 495.00 or best offer. We can discuss pricing via PM

Hey everyone. I've seen this model in person - apart from the keel being raised a bit midship (probably unfixable but also barely noticeable) this is an expertly fabricated/framed hull. If you wanted to complete this model it would be a delightful experience. For this price...wow!
