Howdy Mr Jim,
Glad to see you reply. The kit comes with everything one needs to build.
All parts are laser cut that includes the frame and the complete exterior of the vessel. You are given a gouse type paint (like oil paint) that is water based. They even included 2 nice paint brushes. This allows you the builder to paint the
boat in the appropriate colors. What's cool about the paint, it can be thinned so
that line/print details show thru. Takes a little bit of practice, but it's like paint in
3D oil with all the printed details of a card model. Mast is wood dowels, all rigging lines included and the best turned brass cannon barrels I have ever seen.
With this kit you also get a roll of copper tape for the hull.
A very complete with all needed materials. Cheap, no! But you do get your money's worth. I will post some photos of the kit later this evening.
