The reviews highlight a mix of satisfaction and challenges with the kit's small scale and detailed components. Many appreciated the ease of assembly, good fit of pieces, and clear instructions, though the tiny size and intricate rigging posed difficulties, especially for beginners or those with unsteady hands.

Too Small

By: mirecyli

I have not built a sailing ship in many years so I started small. The Cutty Sark was my favorite from my teen years but I will buy the larger scale soon. I mean, one could put this kit in a bottle. But the detail is really good and the fit is no problem. The molded sails are one piece for each mast and it comes with ample thread for the rigging. Instructions are clear and the hull detail from the copper plating the wooden planks are fine. It was fun to build but not much for display.

Very small and time consuming

By: marseamurphy

I'm still working on it,I don't know if the rigging will ever be complete, yeah it won't. The rigging instructions were pretty vague and it's like soooo tiny when you have bumbling, shaky hands. That being said though, all pieces had great fit out of the box and it's a good time killer while waiting for other projects to dry. Good entertainment for the price.
