Unusual to see a plastic model of a Napoleonic Frigate.  Lindberg first released it long ago as 'La Flore' French Frigate along with another warship the 'Wappen Von Hamburg' that I think may have been a 1st or 2nd rate warship.

Both were re released and marketed as 'pirate' ships (Captain Kidd's and Blackbeard's ships maybe?) later by Lindberg.  I can remember the mouldings for both original kits being quite nice. Nothing was changed in the re pops apart from the boxes and instruction sheets I would imagine.

Went together well almost no flash.

Yep

Beautiful. 

I must find one of these for my "I will do it when I am retired" stash. 

I took the liberty of trying to clean the pictures up a bit (my abilities are limited) so I could see the rigging more clearly. Hope that is OK!

I am in Canada. No hobby lobbies here. I will shop around since the shipping is usually more than the kit price so If I can find one up here it cost far less.

I feel really bad for the Canadians as they shipping price and VAT taxes and custom fees nearly doubled the price of their US counterparts for just about everything.
