Compared to Amati's Avangarb, it's a great set. High-quality BRASS casting, high-quality laser cutting, excellent fine photo etching. You can buy a CNC-cut pear decor. Some complained about the poor convergence of details, I did not notice it. It seems like the body is not according to the drawings, this is not a question for me. The threads for the rigging are very bad, categorically for replacement. Well, the classics are bad instructions, in places they contradict themselves, as the first model without additional information it will be difficult to assemble a ship, but here the Internet helps, there is a channel on YouTube for assembling the model, plus books on rigging.. How was the quality of the kit?
great work, it's looks beautiful
Spectacular!!!!
wonderful! Very nice detail!
Great work!! Congratulations on your build!
Благодарствую на добром слове!Excellent and very business-like build of the Mercury. How was the quality of the kit? Apart from being aware of them as a manufacturer, I don't know much else about them.
Thank you very much for the detailed reply. All in all, then it doesn't sound too bad! I love the history of the ship as it is one of the truly famous Russian naval vessels with a well-documented history. You built a very realistic looking model.Compared to Amati's Avangarb, it's a great set. High-quality BRASS casting, high-quality laser cutting, excellent fine photo etching.

You are absolutely right! I´ve been trying to buy the Eskadra Mercury Brig, but I couldn´t find the way to get it fron Russia. There used to be a dealer, or sometimes on eBay, but not anymore. Would you recomend a serius dealer?Compared to Amati's Avangarb, it's a great set. High-quality BRASS casting, high-quality laser cutting, excellent fine photo etching.
