I promised some of our friends over at another thread that I will show the contents of the kit that I purchased from ZHL for US$258. This is the Royal Caroline 1:50 scale, not to be confused with the exquisite (and much more expensive) 1:30 Royal Caroline with all the bells and whistles. The manufacturer is YuanQing from China.
I must say up front, this is not a kit review, but rather a mere showing of the kit's contents. Nevertheless, my initial impression is that it's a good quality kit. It comes with a variety of fairly good quality wood... sapele, beechwood, walnut, basswood, and teak. The decorative pieces are resin (but can be upgraded to pear for a substantial amount). Instructions are a combination of English, Chinese and I think Italian.
Ordering and delivery from Max at ZHL was smooth and efficient. From the day I placed the order to the box delivered to my doorstep was only about a week.
There is an English (as well as a Chinese) parts list. There are about 270 unique part numbers in the kit.
The kit also comes with a CD with PDF files in English containing well illustrated instructions.These are the contents of the CD.
In addition, there are several large sheets (some 12x16 inches, some others as big as 28x36inches) with illustrated instructions.
To be continued.
