Re the Canadian posting on this kit - that was me. I ordered my kit direct from China. Cost was #333.00 Cdn, which included postage. This works out too $241.00 USD (approximate).
The kit makes extensive use of P-E for the superstructure and related details. The hull is full hull, split length-wise down the keel, with internal bulkheads for strength. Wood decks, and brass gun-barrels for all the guns are included,, along with turned aluminum masts and struts. The aircraft (2 in number), have the makings of fore and aft cockpits, with a P-E canopy. Pre-cut masks are included for the wood decks. You shouldn't have to buy any after-market for this kit, unless you wanted to replace the 01 Deck (case-mates/Boat-Deck), superstructure decks and funnel with 3-D printed parts from Model Monkey, to ease the stress from all that P-E. I'm thinking of doing this.
The manufacturer looks to be located in China.
