Different media are better for different things in a ship model, especially in 1/700 scale. Plastic injection is still best for hulls and probably large superstructure parts (if done right). 3D printing is superb for smaller parts and photo etch is still right for many things. Brass rod masts are probably still best if you are rigging a model. Of course, all of it can be garbage without good research and attention to detail and accuracy and still, modeling companies (of all sizes) make mistakes.
As a (very mediocre) modeler myself, I'm very pleased that all these advances have happened. Even I can make a decent-looking model now!

Yeah. I'll wait for a build report before I pull the trigger but the idea is intriguing.
