Hi everyone,

Now that I have caught up on some things I now have the time to provide some final thoughts regarding the Dragon Z32.

First off it is a great kit with fine details and good fit. The basic build of this kit was quite easy and most parts fell together like legos.

However, there are some parts such as the AA guns that are a little over engineered. What I mean is that there are some parts that should have been molded together verse having the builder put them together. Not a major issue but a little challenging at times.

I would highly recommend a PE upgrade set. I believe Eduard has finally released one to the general market. This was an OOB build except for the railing so I do not have any advice or comments about the Eduard Set.

The PE set that does come with the kit provides enough parts that it improves the overall look of the ship. The instructions for the PE are incorporated into the general instructions which makes it easier.

I think the last comments I would make is that this kit screams for brass replacement masts. The kit masts are good but not very sturdy. They bend quite a bit.

All in all I loved building the kit and see another over the horizon of my future.

I want to thank everyone for your support during this build and your understanding. I know I dragged this out a bit so thanks for hanging around.

Dave
