Peter, that is impressive. I've just worked the length out in old money.......over 28"! That's one mother of a kit.

Does it come with those great sail decals?

I'm sure you'll do it justice.

They do come with the decels

Great, they do look impressive.

I see I'm first in the viewing queue, so I can have my choice of seats - at the front, whilst I have the chance!

Nice one Peter I nearly got this myself so I'm sitting next to Ron watching this one

 

[Guest]

I'll be watching. The rigging is always fun. At least the ratline are done for you.
