Mantua-Panart ROYAL CAROLINE 1:47 Scale

The Royal Caroline was built at Bedford in 1749. As King George II's state yacht, she was one of the most sumptuously decorated vessels of all time. In constant use by the Royal family until 1805, she was dismantled in 1820.

Mantua's Royal Caroline kit does justice to the royal vessel, recreating all the intricate ornamentation of the original. Double plank-on-bulkhead construction relies on laser cut wooden parts. Kit contains the finest woods, such as beech and African walnut. Fittings are superb in a variety of pre-finished hardwoods, photo-etched brass and gilded cast metal. Mantua provides seven sheets of highly detailed plans and comprehensive instruction manual guide you to the completion of a Royal Caroline model fit for a king.

First let me say that this review is solely about this model and Mantua / Panart. It in no way is intended to rate Model Expo. This is the first kit that I have attempted by this company, Panart. I must say that I am very disappointed. The biggest drawback is the lack of detail in the supplied drawings. There is so many things omitted that it is left to the discretion of the builder to its construction. If not for the picture on the box, one would be lost. Some examples, The masts, bowsprit connections of lines to the for mentioned. Also the sequents of parts attached is poor. Once made it is VERY difficult to attach. Example, Anchor Bitts, Rudder. The main mast mounting holes do not line up. There is not enough information about painted parts. Again had to refer to the box top. It would have been nice to have a few other items laser cut as they are very hard to make out of scrap ply that is left over. I don't know if all kits from this maker are as poor as this one. For the price I expect a better product. I am a professional modeler, and have completed many kits from different makers. I will not do one from this company again.
