Impossible to fault. Superbly well packaged, and the model itself is perfect. Very glossy finish, excellent detailing, particularly on the riggers and rudder. I struggle to see how anyone could really fault this model. I will spend many happy hours staring at it and thinking back to that fateful Lake District New Year.
