Revell 05499 Pirates of The Caribbean Black Pearl (Click System) 1:150 Scale Unbuilt/Pre-Coloured/Click-Together (Non-Glue) Plastic Model Kit

Very good moulding giving a detailed model. Fairly easy to construct. Not really for children. It's a little too complex for most younger children. You will need to buy some plastic glue as well and paints to finish it off. Gluing the shields on the bulwarks is fiddly so you need to take time to get this right. Its best to paint or affix shield transfers before attaching them to the ship. Then just touch up the bits left unpainted so that you can glue them on. The ship is a complete ship, so if you want a waterline model you will need to carve away the part of the hull that would be below the water level. The scale works well with 28mm figures.

Good moulding a few flashes but easily removed,good instruction booklet with easy to follow diagrams.

I got this to build for a school project with my daughter, I last built a model like this over 45 years ago and then it was always Airfix models I built, from what my foggy head remembers the Airfix instructions were so much clearer and concise , the instructions on this models were pretty poor to say the least, Still with a bit of common sense it all came together and I must say we both had fun building it, her small hands came in very use full on some parts that my sausage fingers could not do . the kit has great detail ,the rigging is a bit of a pain it is very fiddly, and the water slide stickers for the shields do not stick fully because of the raised boss on the shields , we only saw this issue when trying to stick them in place and it was too late by then , if we had read other peoples reviews we would have seen that to fit them properly you need to cut a hole in the centre of every transfer so it fits around the shield boss and not on top of it ,. I would say the kit is worth the price and the WOW reaction she got from he teacher when she took it into school more than made up for the little niggles on the kit,...don't forget to buy your glue and paint people as this kit does not contain any.

Really nice detailed model, one that i really enjoyed doing. Some of the detail on the ships hull can be tricky to paint due to it`s size but i just about managed with a modelling lens. Did not bother attaching the sails as i think the model looks nicer without them, plastic sails always look cheap so i may add fabric ones at a later stage. My only gripe is the quality of the injection moulding, i know with plastic kits it`s unavoidable but this one was particularly poor. Virtually every part had to be trimmed and some of the pieces are so small it`s almost impossible to remove them without damaging or snapping them. Modeller beware, may sound obvious but a really sharp knife and strong magnifier are needed if you want to do it justice, not the easiest kit to do but worth the effort, just a shame about the moulding.

It looks really good

Great,HMS Victory was challenging,but was assembled in around 4 weeks,and painted in 5 days,really excellent model kit

When it comes to quality this model is terrible, your have to trim everything as mouldings are so bad, instruction are bad, and not clear on paint selection. Ive made many models and this is the worst i have seen. But saying that i still had great fun putting it together so i suppose its good value. Give it a go but take your time, so im in the middle on thus one.

Took just under two months to build on and off with work etc. But patience has paid off. I am very pleased with the end result. A superb model that does have some issues like flash and injector pins to remove with a knife and some parts are extremely small but it was all worth it. I have also not used the plastic sails as I think the model looks better without them although I may well later make some rolled cloth sails for it. Rigging can be complicated but stick with it and you won't be disappointed.

Interessantes Modell, schon zum zusammen bauen und auch bemalen, Preis war okay.

Cada una de las piezas están detalladas y armarlo es un buen pasatiempo. Nótese que es frágil pero es ideal para decoraciones.

Encontré con Amazon lo que estuve buscando por años

Maalesef ürün çok kalitesiz ve parçalar birbirine geçmiyor. Bir tane parçada rahatça montaj yapamadım. Parçalar geçmiyor biraz zorlayınca da kırılıyor.

De bonne taille et de bonne qualité
