Mantua Black Falcon Wooden Balsa Pirate Ship Model #768. Captain Kidd. 1100

  

The Black Falcon was a two masted 18th century brigantine commanded by the infamous pirate Captain Kidd. It is offered in open box, unbuilt condition. It appears someone just didn't have the skill or was daring enough to attempt to build it. The photos show everything that's included and it seems correct. The deck panels and hull framework match the blueprint.

The accessories are still sealed. There are many balsa strips that attach to the hull framework (plank on framework construction).

The sails are still sealed in the packet. There's several pieces of paperwork, but I don't see any specific assembly instructions. Possibly the very large blueprint is sufficient? This is clearly for the advanced model builder. You may have already built something similar.

Approximately 20 inches long and 14 inches high. Plank-on-bulkhead with laser-cut plywood sections. Walnut or lime planking, wooden masts and spars, brass and walnut fittings, and lost-wax brass castings. However, once the package is in the hands of the US Postal service it is out of my hands and I have no control over how long it takes to be delivered.
