The kit includes preformed ratlines and complete set of vacuum formed sails. Commanded by Sir Francis Drake, the Revenge won fame against the Spanish Armada. Later, under the command of Sir Richard Grenville, she was attacked by fifteen Spanish galleons. Sinking two and crippling two others, she was finally forced to surrender.
