This is an old Lindberg kit that I found deep in my stash, and it said something= why have I never built this thing! Now, Lindberg kits can be hits or misses, but 've never turned away from them for that. I see a lot of mods will be necessary. Obviously the cast styrene rigging will have to be thrown out, deck furniture and guns will need a bit of work, maybe cloth sails (furled?)… I dont work that fast these days (I’m 86), but I’ll be crawling along.
BTW, it seems to be 1:350.
An old Pyro model from 1965. It’s scale is a bit iffy, since it is listed as 1:250 to 1:300. Good luck on the build!

Looking forward to seeing your work
I too have been “slugging away” at some Lindberg ship kits recently and even though the curse words do fly sometimes,(I’m 63) I really do enjoy them. I’m anxious to see your first update on it. Good luck with this build.
Couple of questions. Firsts did they holystone decks in 16th Century, or did they let them weather naturally?
Second did that period use round deadeyes, or that they use those heart-shaped things?
