This plank-on-bulkhead wood kit includes laser-cut wooden parts for the hull and structural pieces along with high-quality basswood planking strips. Fittings are true-to-scale Britannia metal, brass and hardwood pieces, and the box includes ready-to-use hardwood blocks and deadeyes, roughly 160 yards of rigging line in five diameters, self-adhesive copper tape, and a basswood launching-ways display stand. Documentation consists of three sheets of detailed plans plus an illustrated step-by-step instruction manual and a multi-page parts list. The finished model measures approximately 25 in (635 mm) long by 20-1/2 in (521 mm) high at 1:64 scale (3/16 in = 1 ft).
