This is a really good ship model in general- very well molded and great design. Instructions are clear even if you don't read Russian. Arrived in good order and it's packed in a nice box with handle. You can build an excellent model of the ship as it appears in the Pirates movies out of the box- no real need for aftermarket parts. Individual deck planks are molded and take a wash very well. It is possible to add interior details and lighting with some effort. Aside from open gunports, clear parts are present for the lanterns and stern windows. There were no major mold or fit issues as I encountered with Revell's 1/96 Constitution (in which among other things, the two hull halves needed vices and epoxy to attach). The only problem I had was with the bow where it seems just a bit off. I'm actually still not sure whether it's molding or whether I made a mistake, but it took a lot of force to fit some of the parts on in this area. A bit of putty was also needed here as the seams were quite large. I'd reference photos of the movie ship for color schemes. One thing obviously off is the gold on the figurehead and stern details- it's very obviously not gold in the movies (that, or it's heavily covered with patina). Overall, a very nice model and definitely worth the price. There is a much smaller 1/350 version, but this is definitely the one to get if you have the skill to finish it. Take your time, and if you've never done a sailing ship before you'll want to read some tutorials and get some beading needles (good luck threading with anything else). This isn't for beginners, but it will build out into something you can be proud of.Read full review

All I have to say is Wow! Extremely detailed! Alot of parts gonna take awhile to build. Comes with clear lanterns and windows. Included are the rigging ropes.and the instructions. Are pictorially enough to easily build this kit. I personally like the sails. But there are also add on kits for cloth sails,and wooden decks. I haven't bought those. Only thing sub par. Is the pirate flag for the top. Well worth the money, and definitely will make a wonderful display!
