Nice model, historically inaccurate

The model is very nice with lots of detail but with one major historical inaccuracy: The main deck in the waist region is about (at scale) 1 meter too high, placing the gun ports on the outside of the hull practically below the main deck! I had to cut the deck and insert additional supports to bring the waist to the right level!
otherwise, a very entertaining model.

Very happy

I am very pleased with the purchase and especially with the prompt delivery. Very much looking forward to building The Beagle kit and impressed with the quality of Revell Germany. I will definitely be back.
