I've seen these kits in a local store and am wondering about their quality. Does anybody know where I can find good reviews on them?

Ahoy, mate!

Honestly, I don't recall running across any in my travels. . .I personally haven't built them, but we just may have a few here in the waters of MSW that have!

Give your thread a little time to see who may give us a hand!
Cheers,

If it's the same kit a mate of mine built, they're pretty good little kits. I believe they are some of Heller's original offerings.
Here's the website of the most accurate replica of the Nina. It was built for the movie "1492".

The Nina

She'll be in Lake Charles, 15 minutes away from me, next week. My wife and I are going to take my son to see her.
