Overall a very nice model although fitting the hull and deck sections was tricky and required careful work with masking tape, clamps, and epoxy putty. 501 parts total makes for a highly detailed kit. Not expecting any aftermarket companies to come out with photoetched sets. Much nicer than the old Matchbox 1:72nd scale model. Recommended.

Open box review of this kit shows some beautifully molded parts that are crisp and clean looking, well packaged and I think this the perfect size for this subject matter. Hopefully someone will release some Photo etch and after market parts that will really bring this ship up to a super quality build. As is it's a perfect starter kit, not to big or small. Hope you enjoy your kit.

In itself, highly detailed. Well formed parts. Realistic. Brass super detail sheets are available for those seeking museum quality (also to be found on E-Bay). Perhaps as many as 3 separate sheets. Highly affordable.

Nice kit with lots of tiny detail parts. Should be a nice build when finished. I expect it will take some time and patience to finish it. There are some after market photo etch detail kits available from Eduard to really improve the details.

Very nicely detailed modern kit of an interesting ship type. The scale makes it possible to do some interesting detailing if you wish.
