Same kit that Revell – 05605 – Pirate Ship, and they both are originally the Zvezda kit Zvezda – 9031 – Pirate Ship “Black Swan” also released as Zvezda – 9037 – Black Pearl.

Note that Zveza updated and changed some parts between both ships, the Figureheads are different as well as some decorations, but both sets shares most of the parts and all the structural parts.

Kit consists of 895 parts, making it a kit not suitable for beginners.

Several makers did and effort to cover the Pirates figures subject in 1/72 scale, and some of the figures can be usable. Not specifically created as Pirates and though intended for an earlier era, the large Red Box coverage for early centuries can be useful as most of the figures wear plain clothes. Hät also can provide some useful figures and all of those can be found under the Sailors in 1/72 scale topic page.
