Is anyone else building this ship? I'm almost finished, and would like to compare notes with other modellers. I find Dreadnought to be Trumpeter's best model so far as to surface detail and fit. But there are some glitches with instructions, extra parts (which may indicate a later version in the future), and not enough parts (searchlights - only 12 on sprues, but 13 needed as per instructions!). Also some confusing instructions involving placement of lifeboats. Includes some very nice PE, but I find it too thick in gauge for folding small parts like boat cradles on their platforms.
