Airfix Starter Set - A55114A Mary Rose Model Building Kit - Plastic Model Ship Kits for Adults & Children 8+, Set Includes Decals, Humbrol Acrylic Paints, Brushes & Poly Cement - 1:400 Scale Model

Nice wee kit with fine detail. I intend to make a number of models at the same time. Keep one and give the others as Christmas presents.

Sadly, the lids had come off two of the paint pots and the paint was drying up.

It was a bit small but a good model to build

Great little kit, it’s fun to build and paint, it is historically well known for the large amount of English longbows and arrows found on the actual ship when it sank in the Solent in 1545, so educational too. The kit comes with a brush, paints and cement and decals and stickers for the flags.

This an easy to make model.The paints that come with this model are acrylic not the enamel paint that they used to supply. This just means a few more layers of paint than had you’d used enamel paints. This isn’t much of a problem. When the item is finished you can then paint with acrylic varnish that leaves a hard finish that stops paint from coming off when knocked.Pros easy to assemble model not to many finicky parts than can get lost .Cons the paints were solid so I had to got to Airfix to get all of my colours because Amazon didn’t hold the full range. Plastic is a little on the flimsy side and makes the ship look a little cheap. You will need to purchase the varnish separately and it must be the Matt version.The colour numbers are as follows if you need to purchase themDB0022 No 22 White - GlossDB0053 No 53 Gunmetal - MetallicDB0110 No 110 Natural Wood - MattDB0103 No 103 Cream - MattDB0049 No 49 Matt Varnish

Product arrived with all pieces and was great to build. But paints were dried up so had to purchase additional paints to finish the model

Really looked forward to doing this but all paint pots are solid dried up so I’ve got to go buy paint for it !! Very disappointed

Hat Spaß gemacht dies Minischiff zu bauen!
