I may have seen as well! I was a bit afraid to paint this due to the masts and gold trims
@jeanneL so you left yours as original colours?

Hoping this helps. I made this and it is just a beautiful kit

OH WOW! You’re gonna enjoy this one, I’m sure of it. It was my first build and, to the date, the most makestic one I’ve ever built. If you need any help or advice through it just ask!
For whenever you build it let me give you a couple of advices (I could give you a lot of them, but I’m gonna go with the two that I consider the most important ones).
First, beware page 20 of the manual:
Be really, and I mean REALLY careful with folding part C31. It’s so fragile! And it’s tricky to hold everything together while putting those parts together. My C31 broke half the way and I had to glue it.
Second, regarding page 31:
DON’T add yet what I’ve circled in red. Why? It may be a mistake on the manual, idk. But after adding the mast and sails to the ship you’ll have to deal with the rope mumbo jumbo, and by page 33 the manual will assume that you didn’t fit that yet and will ask you to tighten the rope around it BEFORE adding it to the deck:
I didn’t see that in advance, so I had to remove it (which wasn’t easy with all the sails and masts around) to proceed.
Either way, I wish you the best of lucks with this build, I’m sure you’ll love it!

I touched up black and golds on hull but left close to original color and did not touch the masts.
It’s a nice kit. I will touch up the gold as well. I’m thinking of metallic blue and other metallic dark colours.
@Tricia12 thats sounds very interesting! I love all the coulor ideas xx
