This is a double plank-on-bulkhead kit with laser-cut frames, keel and decks, lime and walnut double planking, lost-wax cast and turned-brass photo-etched fittings, wooden masts and spars, rigging cord and silk flags. It is an advanced/expert-level build with a 9-sheet detailed plan set; notably each ship's lifeboat is built as its own plank-on-frame mini-kit.
