My first post so hope I'm on the right track.
I recently took delivery of this delightful kit. So nicely presented it's almost a shame to make it up... but that didnt last long and I've been pretty occupied making a start, and collecting reference material. The kit is certainly not perfect in it's detail, and some of the !/16 scale models have a more accurate interpretation. So there's quite a bit to do to get it closer to the real thing, and I'm still making some compromises. Some of the turnbuckles were missing from the kit so I made up a mould from the supplied parts and am casting off a few more in white metal. By rights all the rigging wires should have a turnbuckles on them, and I still haven't yet decided whether I can face doing that many. I'm quite pleased with how things are looking so far.
