Plenty to keep young adults (of all ages) entertained for many hours.Most pieces are moulded black, sails are grey and some details in brown or gold.The kit is designed to be clicked or pushed together. Some pieces, such as the rigging/shrouds WILL need glued. I could not get a perfect join at the bows (may be my fault) although all the major pieces join extremely neatly.The instructions are in colour 3D and very clear to follow, but some pieces are fiddly and the eyes and hands of an experienced plastic-kit modeller would be useful. The parts all need cut from the runners and sanded or filed a hint to remove the burrs.The stand is clever and pushes in place into holes out of sight underneath the hull (very smart).Good wood-effect detail on the hull and decks.

Having not built a kit for quite some time, I really enjoyed this one.The moulding detail is excellent and required very little trimming after removal from the sprues.Generally the snap together joins work really well, but for some of the smaller parts, I found that slightly enlarging the holes and gluing worked better.Painting is optional, as stated on the box and in the instructions, but painting really transforms this kit, because the mouldings are so detailed.I used a matt black spray for most of the parts (many of the mouldings are already black but a bit shiny for realism) then the recommended Revell colours for dry brushing and detailing.I also added some rigging (£1.50 from a model ship website)

An absolute joy to build, and rather sturdy when finished. Bought on a whim, after a rum fueled POTC marathon, standard Revell quality, crisp moulding, rather nicely detailed for a snap together, and I didn't see a reason to do the extra detailing with paint. Looks fabulous in the display cabinet, as any eastindiaman would, with the added menace of being entirely almost completely black. Well protected I. The standard oversized cardboard box, arrived within the stated delivery window. Satisfactory.

When the parcel arrived it was on time but the packaging was poor if it was for a surprise or present, as label address was stuck on box. once I started building it with my son for a school project we decided to paint the ship be for construction. the parts fitted ok if you spend time cutting and filing the littel tags off we decided to glue it as we are going to carry it to school the instructions are easy to read and to understand. A real nice little model

This was for my grand daughter age 14, she was very careful with the parts as some of them very small, and she has made a really good job of putting it together well pleased

Very good, some pieces did not click in easy together and i had to use glue on a few occasions but overall a very well built item.

Good quality model kit, some parts so need glue but most just clip to gather easy.Recommend.
