Happy new year.

 

This is my first project in 2021. The model name is 8-oared boat 1824 by Falkonet made in Russia. You may find simliarity with Master Korabel's small boat series. I asked to moderator @Chuck, but he hasn't find any sign of piracy suspicion of the company yet.

 

This kit is surprisingly accurate and designed to make the realistic lifeboat in 18~19th centuries. All parts are 99% accurate, and only human error causes gaps or imbalanced hull. An assembly process is so systematic that I was able to finish this kit within 3 days with CA glue only. If you are expert modeller, you can finish this kit within a day with CA glue, or a week with PVA glue and museum grade polishing.

 

Of course, this kit is a bit sophisticated for beginners. When I bought this kit two years ago, I gave up due to no understanding on planking. After the NRG half hull planking kit, I decided to try this kit again, and now I can fully understand an instruction manual of this kit. I hope my experience helps your choice to improve lifeboat included in 1/60~1/84 kits.

Also, if you want historically accurate lifeboat, don't forget to buy this book I was recommended here.
