Whew! I finally finished the JSC 1:400 Dreadnought tonight. This model was just about the most complex on that I've done, primarily because of the confusing nature of the diagrams and my penchant for not reading the written instructions. I'm not used to having English language instructions, and that needs to change!
The kit was pretty good, although it had a couple very little fitting issues, primarily with the walkway structure around the forward funnel. I had to clip it down and relocate the searchlights as they were right in the way of the mast.
Once again, I kept with a very basic rig. Does anybody know where the signaling halyards are supposed to terminate?? :???:
Anyways, it was a nice challange. That's part of the fun, trying to figure things out. Thank god for strip styrene!
Card models are nothing more than 3D jigsaw puzzles......
