Since the level of detail a person may add and the availability and amount of research a person may chose to perform will vary with each modeler, the times I show are related to the actual work performed on the vessel. Each person’s ability to read and interpret plans can vary a great detail. Thus, the time reflects only that used to measure the plans for comparison on the vessel or to determine the size of wood used to make a part that is unclear and not listed in the instructions or on the plans separately. Hopefully, by doing this, a person can use this as a guide to determine the level of commitment necessary to compete this type of project or can use it to gauge how far along they are if building the same vessel.
This is a large kit with a lot of wood, some brass, photo-etched sheets and a few plastic parts. The size of the model is 1880 x 200 x 500 mm (74 x 7 7/8 x 19 3/4 inches) in 1:144 scale. There is no written instructions. There are pictures of every sheet of wood or brass with the part numbers added. There is a part list that is several pages long and many pages of the building stages with accompanying part numbers. Because of the smallness of the parts and the very delicately detailed photo-etched parts, this should make an interesting build. This is considered an expert kit.
