This is the Hobbyboss's kit(1/350), pe parts from Tom's Model works. There are too many small things bothering me lately, it took me more than a month to finish.

Great Work Alex. I really like the weathering. More than a month?!? It took me more than a year to finish my USS Independence... I wish I could finish any model within a month...
I'm not sure if this was intended but it looks from the photos as if the rigging is still bare plastic. Maybe you can touch that up with some paint?
Cheers!
Stefan

Thank you, Stefan. The rigging is made from clear 0.2mm nylon fishing line, I like it better than the black one when seeing it in real.(just my personal preference)

Stunning work!
I have there 1/700 version in my stash which I started but never finished. Really should get it back on the desk.

It'd be easy to build right out of the box, since the structure is simple. for the basic details, adding the railing is good enough.

Thank you for that. I am not a fisherman so I didn'ty know which fishing line to ask for. There is a product called EZ line which comes in black and I think other colors as well as various thicknesses. But I think for the buck the fishing line will be considerably cheaper
