I posted some pictures in my Introduction but, will post the progress here as a build report. So, this kit is big at just over 52" which makes it a challenge to build on my modest 4' table/work bench. I have to tell you, the fit and finish of this model is much, much better than I remember of the 1970's Revell kits and very little if any flash. The one thing I have noticed(which isn't necessarily a bad thing) is the softness of the plastic which makes working seams a dream but, can be a bit fidgety getting off the sprue sometimes and pieces weld together nicely. I bought a set of aftermarket PE for the kit as well as EZ Line for the rigging and is my first attempt at using either. Progress is slow as my wife broke her ankle while we were skydiving so, I am attending to her needs as well as house/ yard so, most nights I may be to tired to work on it but, I do a piece or two while sitting at the computer. I hope you enjoy the progress, be it, slow.
