colin goulding2024-10-11Model was as advertised and prompt delivery
Renee W2024-10-11Absolutely incredible model. Was given as a gift and the recipient has enjoyed building it.
Nigel Goodwin2024-10-11Wonderful historic ship models with high quality design and materials. My one complaint is that the instructions can be too brief and obscure. For instance, in the Chinese Junk model, there was no indication on how to affix the sail battens to the sails. By improvisation, I used needle and thread plus lots of glue. Clearer instruction would help.
Ron Potts2024-10-11Purchased one of the expert build models. Have been working on it in spare time for about 6 months. The hull is almost complete. The material is spot on with specs, Quality material, laser cut and accurate. Definitely an expert project but well worth it and the time.
Stephen Lynch2024-10-11The model was as advertised, and was received with other tools ordered at the same time. Very happy with all the products & the service.
Niels Lind2024-10-11The. kit and tools are excellent and complete; however, the instructions are poor (somewhat incomplete and written in poor English).*****
Nigel Brett2024-10-11Great model and really good to build
Angus Brown2024-10-11I'm 7 months into building a FIFIE and have a few weeks to go. instructions are mostly clear and drawings are accurate. I think I would like to add a motor but failed in the contact to enable it. It's me ,.I know. ! The buying experience and model parts are excellent although I've had to adapt some to make the model both look better and fit better. I'll buy another model boat later this year.
Doreen Mitchell2024-10-11Superb model building kit of the Vasa supplied. Unfortunately much of the parts and instructions in Swedish. Nevertheless wonderful boat kit.
Bhu Patel2024-10-10I recently purchased the Prosperity FPSO model from Premiership Models, and overall, it has been an impressive retirement gift for a colleague The attention to detail in this model is outstanding. The intricate elements like the helideck, cranes, piping, and storage tanks are meticulously crafted and look very realistic. The materials used, feel solid and high-quality and the finish is smooth, and the paintwork is clean and vibrant, without any smudging or uneven areas This model perfectly captures the scale and proportions of the real Prosperity FPSO. The overall layout of key components such as the flare tower, lifeboats, and mooring systems is accurate when compared to reference images of the actual vessel. It really feels like a scaled-down version of the real thing, with remarkable attention to realism. Given the quality of craftsmanship and the accuracy of the model, I believe this was a great value for the price. It’s clear a lot of work went into creating this piece, and it shows in the final product. For anyone who is a fan of maritime models or specifically looking for an FPSO, this is a worthy investment. Premiership Models provided excellent customer service throughout the process. My inquiries about the delivery timeline were answered promptly, and the model arrived on time as promised. They were professional and helpful, making the overall purchase experience smooth and stress-free. The model was packed very securely, with layers of protective material ensuring it arrived in perfect condition. I am also a collector of model ships especially LNG tankers and FPSO’s and bought models from all over the world and would highly recommend Premier Ships to maritime enthusiasts. In conclusion, the Prosperity FPSO model from Premiership Models is a beautifully crafted piece that is both accurate and visually striking and offers great value for the money.
