It will be a while before I get to this, and I may end up skipping the kit altogether and going straight to a scratchbuild of a long fo'c'sle late war version (which I haven't seen published?) but I was wondering if anyone had firsthand experience with this design.
I have the 1:200 version, which looks like it must have been scaled directly from the 1:100 edition, as I can't see any other explanation for the number of tiny parts - 2026 on 6 sheets... I'm not suggesting that it's an impossible build, or conceding defeat before laying knife to (scanned and reprinted) paper, but I sure would like to see some photos of a completed corvette!
The 1:100 build over at kartonbau looks manageable, but that's the only finished version I've seen (not even publisher's model, which always builds confidence!)
Thanks!
Matthias
