 Re-issue of older kit, French frigate La Flore October 23, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a re-issue of one of Lindberg's older kits, a 30-gun (8-pdr I think) French frigate "La Flore", to try and cash-in on different things that are "piratey" (as is most of their other kits). The kit itself is actually a fairly decent flush-decked kit. This kit was actually presented to JFK as a gift and stands in the Oval Office. There are a few details in the construction that make the kit a bit less nice, such as the hull construction (separate halves) and the after-transom fitting problems. Otherwise, if you have the skill you can hook up the steering wheel to the rudder. The sails are a soft plastic mold, as are the other Lindberg kits. Not a bad kit.
