I have heard a lot about how great this kit is going to be. To me, the greatest thing they could do would be to detail the upper decks. The Tamiya only inscribed the main deck all others were smooth. I had to pay something like $40 to get the WEM pieces to bring out this detail. This article doesn't show me much in the way of pictures as to persuade me to get one. All things considered, If I were in the market for one and the prices were close, this would be my choice as the Tamiya is around 25 years old by now.

Steve, here's a complete review of the kit (get your translator workin' ) modellversium.de

I think they could have left the molded on ladders off. No matter how well the molds are the ladders never really look right, I think it would be better to leave the molded ladders off and give us some photo etched ladders.
