        Hi Derek
        That's going to involve a lot of time and build into a huge model. It will be interesting to see how you go on.

          With a kit this size, will you be making it into an R/C sailing model?

          A superb kit and I will be following the build whether static or R/C.

                    Finished drilling out all the portholes by hand (hundreds of them), took a while, glued the deck to the hull, progress is slow but interesting.
