GRATE MODLE AS ALL REVELL MODELS ARE

Good buy
It's better than expected for the money and no problem with assembly so far. Yes it's time consuming.
R**S
It is a well documented instruction manual
The ship is gluing up beautifully looking forward to putting the sails on

Not for beginners to modeling.
Great detail but lots of flash to clean up, not for beginners, fast delivery, no damage to package. Instructions could be a little more clearer especially for the rigging. Enjoying working on this.

Great model.
Great model and as good as all Revell models are. This was a fun build and the final product is wonderful.

Excellent for such an old kit.
With updated packaging, rigging line, and colored instructions, this is the same kit from 1959 I first built at age ten. Back then the molds were all new, but the kit has held up remarkably well for its age. Very little flash for a kit this old. Offered as level 4, I think that's a bit underrated. It has all the challenges of a level 5 kit, especially in the painting and assembly of lots OF VERY small piece, the warping of decks. etc. The new plastic used is fairly soft. It will require some skill to complete. By the way. There are always a number of people who are disappointed because plastic model kits require paint and glue. They invariably leave poor ratings. But this is only their own inexperience speaking. Look past all that and go ahead and enjoy a well-engineered kit, but so knowing what Revell's skill levels mean. This is not a first kit for anyone, no matter how long you've been building.

Challenging but FUN
Kit is OK, having to reshape warped parts, Sails are vac u-formed pieces of stark white-very thin plastic, probably going with thin linen for sails unless these can be washed and textured. I STRONGLY advise test fitting everything before assembly or painting, and its easier to assemble the hull and decks one deck at a time. I know this is a level 5 kit, but sometimes people don't look at the levels as skill advisors. Still working on this kit, and it will work out fine because I do love a challenge. I'm using Testors enamels since I don't live close to a decent hobby shop. I would recommend Humbroll because of color correctness, and paint-ability. (saves on mixing your own as well. With all this, I'm still having fun with it, and would purchase it again, if I wanted to do more plastic.

Jolie boite ,le contenu reste très ancien dans le domaine de la maquette plastique . Contenu des années 1970 bien que le moule semble avoir été entretenu pour des grappes pas trop mal finies . Pour AMATEURS de ce bateau seulement ,KIT plus facile a trouver que celui de chez AIRFIX . CELUI DE CHEZ HELLER RESTANT DESTINE A UN MAQUETTISTE EXPERT NE DÉSIRANT PAS TOUCHER DU BOIS . REVELL DONNE UN NIVEAU 4 correspondant a un AMATEUR ÉCLAIRÉ ,pour la partie plastique un NIVEAU 3 de Débutant dégrossi suffirait . POUR UN BEAU BATEAU A CETTE ECHELLE ET APRES MODIFICATIONS NÉCESSAIRE SUR CE KIT , CELUI CI DEMANDE UN NIVEAU BIEN EXPÉRIMENTÉ .

E' stato il mio primo modellino. Quando è arrivata a casa sono rimasto un po' deluso, quattro fogli di plastica marrone neppure troppo spessa con tantissimi pezzi piccolissimi. Mi sembravano i giochini degli ovetti. E poi ci volevano un sacco di colori... Ho comprato i colori, e già non è stato semplice, i Revell, consigliati, sono difficili da trovare, così ho ripiegato sugli Humbrol, previa ricerca della tavola di conversione, poi finalmente, dopo quasi sei mesi dall'acquisto mi sono deciso a cimentarmi in quella che a me sembrava un'impresa. Beh già dalla prima sera, quando ho iniziato a colorare i cannoni, mi si è aperto un mondo, appena colorata quella plastica si è trasformata in ferro. Lo scafo, che mi sembrava così insignificante, una volta terminato pare veramente di legno. E le vele, una volta tagliate e legate, sembrano reali. Per essere alla mia prima esperienza sono veramente soddisfatto, certo un modellista esperto vedrebbe un sacco di imperfezioni, ma io sono contento così e devo dire che tutti quelli che lo hanno visto sono rimasti colpiti e sopratutto meravigliati quando gli ho spiegato che non è di legno e che costa solo una ventina di euro. Allego delle foto (purtroppo non bellissime) per farvi un idea. Devo però dire che non è un giocattolo, e non è assolutamente adatto per un bambino. Innanzitutto i pezzi sono molto piccoli e occorre una certa attenzione per riuscire a maneggiarli e poi i colori consigliati sono smalti che vanno trattati con attenzione (anche se in realtà probabilmente si potevano anche usare gli acrilici, ma l'ho scoperto dopo e comunque, in ogni caso, non si tratta di tempere). Ed infine la colla, io ho provato sia con la Humbrol che con la Tamiya, in entrambi i casi si tratta di prodotti che non possono essere lasciati ad un bambino. Per il resto però da' grande soddisfazione (ed infatti ne ho subito fatta un altra e ora non vedo l'ora di iniziarne una terza
