I just got this kit over the week end and the first impresion is that it's good value for money. There is no photoetch but I believe White Ensign Models are coming up with the missing ingredient.

As a health warning, the stab camo scheme noted in the instructions is diffeernt from that on the box art. I guess the box art is correct but for alternatives look at the Dumas trillogy of Richelieu, Jean Bart, and Dunkerque/Strassbourg.

Cheers,
