Today I received the 1st of 2 ship-models I ordered. Both are from the “One Piece” anime
Today I got the “Going Merry”:

Agreed not the standard ships that you guys build here but I hope to do a WIP for both builds.
“Going Merry” seems to be around 1/48 scale from the supplied figures and will have a length of 28cm build.
Been Years/Decades since I build a sail-ship so this fairly easy kit should not be too hard.
P.S.: Mods if you feel that this is posted in the wrong forum move it to the correct one.
Checked the Box contents.
Very typical Bandai kit can be snapped together, fit is good as always, not many parts more of a kit for painters.
For the people that want to finish it quickly there are supplied stickers for some of the parts to colour them, been ditched already as I will paint mine and use the supplied water-slide transfers.
Wood grain is very finely engraved and should look good painted.
Some parts will need a bit of modifications to make them look better.
Will have WIP pics soon.
Got delayed on a few other kits on the Bench. Namely Top-Gun Ninja for the Hollywood GB, MAK Hornisse for a friend and a Honda STEED 600 for my son.
Really looking forward to this build. I like unusual suspects and both ships will go well with my “Vicky the Viking Ship”(japanese Anime) and a Diorama from “Kochikame”(japanese Anime).
