I have been looking forward to this cruiser coming out, especially on the strength of their twin battleships - the downside of that, was the all important ratlines, deck to yard, you can buy these from WEM but even the longest set are to short for the battleship and you'll find yourself doubling up. Because this new offering is basically an echo of mast going over to steam, and a smaller ship, does this kit contain ratlines within its etch set, or would there be the same problem ?
I have only ever brought 3 Bronco models, and each simply fall into place, they are such a good plastic model, obviously someone somewhere I dare say must of had problems, for my builds, they were simply great.
The mast ratlines, are these supplied ?

You would have to check the Bronco Models website Al. I couldn't gain access to it yesterday.
