The President is a prime example of the numerous small frigates built around 1750. Economic considerations were decisive for the development of this type of ship. In naval terms, the frigates were superior to the older high-sided galleons.
The small kit contains exceptionally high-quality components. The frames are perfectly and cleanly cut out by laser. The deck made of Tanganica plywood is already laser engraved to imitate deck planking. The hull is first planked with a layer of lime mouldings onto which a visible planking of walnut mouldings is applied. A set of fittings is included in the kit. The cannons are turned from brass, the figurehead and decorations on the ship are cast brass. The metal anchor and anchor chain are already coloured black. The multilingual building instructions consist of a coloured booklet with 56 pages of explanations and pictures describing the construction. A large plan with drawings and details complete the instructions.
A beautiful model stand is included with the kit.
The sail set is not included, the hull can optionally be planked with imitation copper plates instead of a copper paint finish.
The colours recommended for building are listed under accessories.

Bestellung ist einfach und das passende Zubehör kann man auch sehr gut auswählen und bestellen. Lieferung ging sehr schnell und alles kam unbeschädigt an.
Für Einsteiger ist es ein guter Bausatz, welcher aber etwas handwerkliches Geschick erfordert. Materialen sind gut verarbeitet und vollständig und ausreichend im Bausatz enthalten.
Die Bauanleitung hingegen lässt etwas zu wünschen übrig. Beschriftungen und deren Übersetzung sind hier und da sehr ungenau bzw völlig unsinnig. Bilder in der Anleitung zeigen an manchen Stellen unterschiedliche Schiffe (Schiffsteile). Das ist zwar für den geübten Modelbauer eher zu vernachlässigen, macht aber die Orientierung für den Einsteiger vermutlich etwas schwieriger. Bauplan und Bauanleitung sind teilweise ungenau (Maßtab/Abbildungsgröße)) und weichen voneinander ab. Man muss sich hier und da auch selbst Gedanken machen, weil einzelne Arbeitsschritte nur aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich sind. Daher bekommt der Bausatz nicht die volle Punktzahl von mir.
Alles in allem ist es aber ein guter und relativ einfacher Bausatz, welcher sein Geld wert ist. Das fertige Schiffe sieht gut aus und ist für Anfänger sehr zu empfehlen.
