I've built the US Version (The Black Swan)....it's a great build of a high-quality kit. I loved the complexity of the rigging, and the detail of the parts (close to 900 in all)...
The only difference between the two versions are the figurehead (a lady instead of a Swan), and the nameplate.
The capstan IS around the mast, just like in the movie.
I would also love to find some good 1/72 figures...but not for my Swan...
