Good evening. I have just purchased this kit after reading many reviews. I have opened the kit today and had a quick look over the sprus.
I can't see any issues with the deadeyes at this point, they all look very detailed. Another thing that I checked was the detail on the decking grain, and again it seems proportionate with the planks.
This kind of leads me to think that it may have been retooled recently to address people's reviews. Does anybody know how to find out what tooling was used on my particular model?. Looking forward to doing this kit. I had a mess round with a 50 year old mantua kit but fund the wood was pretty much shot, and the instructions left a lot to be desired. I have the recommended books that everyone praises so reckon I can make a lot better effort than the wooden kit. Fingers crossed.
