Carthaginian Warship III - I B.C.

James Davidson
Hello everyone! I purchased this kit by mail order from Poland. I like it very much. The mouldings are a bit thicker (and stronger!) than usual, but well done with some fine detail work. The scale is listed as 1/72 and this makes sense, if you use a scale figure to compare on deck. The plans are nicely printed in a larger than usual format, clear and easy to follow. Two sails are moulded, but still light & fine enough to use and very detailed (they did some research for these, to make them accurate to what is known of ancient ship usages!) A good kit of a very rare subject, based on what historians think of as a Quinquireme. Zvesda almost always provides a solid box that protects the model very well. I am excited to add it to my collection of "evolution of the battleship". Cheers!
