I believe this was originally released by Carzol models- i have one such/ same box art & scale.

I have the original release of this kit, and built it between 1979 to 81. Over all, a decent kit! Some glaring errors thought- the scale is [probably] 1/64 to 1/68, not 1/96 and the figures look ridiculous on deck!
The guns are close to correct , for the era depicted, but too small. There Are some depictions [paintings etc] of ships with the foremast leaning forward-[as per the kit] this was never done to my knowledge, for very basic engineering reasons. If you correct the foremast and use larger scale figures, this becomes a good model of 16th century ships.

AS a long time ship modeller, i know revell has a reputation for mis-labelling scale ratios: My copy of this kit [05408] was marked 1/146- they corrected that with later releases-1/225 is probably correct.
The only good thing about it is the hull, which is proportional to the real ship +/- 3%. Usable with a LOT of work, the masts and most fittings are way out-of scale.
