Very interesting log. It seems this is a very nice kit.
A model thrives on its overall impression and not on that every little disagreement over the original is hyped up as a disaster

Stefan I will see at it, thank you
Wolf yes it is, but there are mistakes on it and the Instruktion is not so good as from Karaya. But there are scale plans on it.

i look forward to see you build this one martin. this is the new csm release right? i have the original kit, i bought used and some damage had been done to it. i was hoping when they did the restoration and upgrade to the masters they would have noticed this is the wrong engine and put the right one but alas we arent so lucky. its still a nice kit and the only other 1/48 w.12 is vacuform from sierra scale. good luck i will watch this one.

Beautiful work, Martin!  Here's a little something for you to look at for inspiration.  I'll try to find his build log for you.

You are cruising along quite nicely Martin, all the little extras make a lot of sense but even if they can't be seen they are there for a purpose.
