Nice to see a later bridge, but would have been nicer either to see a short foc's'le or a later long fo'c'sle.
Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of these kits, have built the Zinnia and have at least one more in the loft, and I know Mirage are trying to get as much as they can out of the moulds. but a bit more variety would be nice.
