It's a fine kit, with excellent, highly detailed plans. MS classifies it as plank-on-bulkhead, which I guess is technically right. But the hull is built just about like the real thing. Skipjacks don't have frames per se.
A hundred bucks is a bit high though. The regular retail price is $129.95. At the moment ModelEswxpo is having a 41% off sale. So you can pick up that kit for $76.70 - plus shipping.
Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
