Properly built it will be fine and something for display and to be proud of. The parts are laser cut but will need some lite sanding. Wood/plank bending tools will be needed for some stages. For those who spend four hundred pounds and expect an easy afternoon stress free model are honestly fooling themselves, these models are for craft modelers and some way down the practice path. No wood model is a glue and paint, all require patients and some level of knowledge. It will not go to plan first time, hence patients and rethinks. This model is simple and a very good starting point into the tall ship world. It will produce a good looking model but time as always must be on your side. The correct tools are essential. The instructions are very good but hand sanding and fixing knowledge are essential. As always the result will be in the flexible attention to detail. My only and best advice would be to dry fit before adding glue, this applies to any model at any level. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 February 2017* nice kit, but you need glue and wood bending tools ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for a beginner *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 January 2020* Bought for my brother (30) and since I'm a feeble woman, had to ask the opinion of a man who enjoys building model aircraft, he said it looks impressive, didn't like the price too much, but it was a present, hes impossible to buy for, he wanted a wooden ship and I like pirate ships, so yeah, he was impressed with it, loved the little (brass?) Canons and detail, should keep him quiet for a bit, it looks hard to put together ## Frequently Bought Together - Mantua President English Frigate 1750 Period 1:60 Scale Wooden Model Ship Kit - Modelcraft PTK8040 Plank Bending Tool with Spare Blades, 180mm, Black - PLANK OR STRIP BENDER FOR WOOD STRIPS MODEL SHIP BUILDING --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/49028645-mantua-president-english-frigate-1750-period-1-60-scale-wooden](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/49028645-mantua-president-english-frigate-1750-period-1-60-scale-wooden) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
