This is a well made kit. If you want to have a beautiful model to admire this is a good option. Heller has made a very good job with its model kits, and the parts fit very well. Of course nothing is perfect, and you need to sand or use putty some times, but in general everything is well done. The decorations of the boat are superb. Take into account that this is not an easy to assembly model. Heller says it is intermediate. I think is more like advanced.

I bought this several years ago [ not in Hobbylinc :-( ], and spent 3 months to finalize it. At the end it was so beautiful that everybody asked me to give it away or sell it to them. An aunt has it right now. I already have a new one and will make it again when I finish Le Superbe and La Sirene
