Both the1/700 and the 1/350 are early efforts in resin. I am building the1/700 and a friend is building the 1/350. My 1/700 has stalled. My best efforts to clean the kit and get good painted adhesion required a great deal at time. There are bubbles and missing parts. Poorly casted parts and a variety of other difficulties associated with early resin kits. It is not a cakewalk. My friends 350 scale is warped, actually hogged. He is placing it into a diorama so he can have a wave crashing over the ship to hide the bend. If you’re looking for an easy kit, it is not your answer. We are building ours in order to enter a contest for the 50th anniversary. If we don’t lose our minds first.
