HOBBY LOBBY has an internet coupon for 40% off any single item. They also have 1/2 off model kits,paints,brushes, etc. several times during the year.

You will find a good variety of model kits including sailing ships.  This has been a good ( less expensive) source for my kit and supply needs. 

FYI    Paint Markers , cheap at hobby lobby, are a good way to paint fine hull detail.

Don't think any coupon is required by the Squadron Shop, just follow that link and call their 800 number.

Once I found out the model was older than I was, I decided to pass despite the 1/72nd scale.
