This review is from: Latina 1/41 Virginia American Schooner LAT22135 (Toy)
This ship is the most intricate model kit I have ever seen! There are wooden planks to lay down individually for the siding and the deck! This is a model that requires time and a lot of patience. It is sure beautiful though.

This review is from: Latina 1/41 Virginia American Schooner LAT22135 (Toy)
I purchased this model for my father for Christmas. This was to be his first attempt at building a model ship even though he is an accomplished woodworker. I spoke to him in Florida the other day. He indicated that several pieces were missing from the kit. Some wood items were missing along with the brass pieces used to hold up the masts and rigging. He indicated that he double checked the box and did not unpack anything before it was time to assemble it. I'm dissappointed that this gift and his first wood ship build have been a let down.
