It's a big kit for a larger than life ship. The kit fit together very well and the directions were very good. It was a little cumbersome using Revell's painting code. It came with painting schemes and decals for 3 different versions, including a more accurate scheme for her sortie from Norway on her last mission. It came with plastic railings for all levels and detailed rigging details. I used a White Ensign PE set with an Art Wox wooden deck along with Eduard figures and I liked how it turned out. A very good kit for a relatively low price.

This model is very, very good. Accuracy is excellent, as the molding. It is a real challenge to build, with lot of fun. Certainly one of the best (in conception) ship i've built so far. Pros : - Very detailed instructions booklet - Fine molding - Accurate - Two painting/decals patterns available - One of the best bang for the buck in the 1/350 scale Cons - Some parts are so thin that they may be broken before you even open the box...

Very good model..Lot of fun...Color codes in german
