Paclvs,
I've built that model about 4-5 time for clients, There are some things you want to watch for:
The railing that makes up both sides of the top deck is a hair too short, you might be able to cheat a touch where the railing bends around the corners (you se in the instr, or you can fill with plastruct or get another kit and steal some extra from it. The holes in the top deck are kinda big, so after you run your rigging through, use a tiny amount of white glue to close the up and also work the glue up the cable so it looks like it been laid and tarred Check into the rigging wire gauge, what come with the kit is incorrect. Since the stays are dead straight, consider using wire vs. rigging thread.
The paper flags require careful cutting, the print on them was off centered when I've built mine and the smokes stacks look real good if you work a few cotton balls on some wire and give her a smoking effect, (hairspray and flat floquil steam power black) . Uuse the same tech. for the steam whistles, only white.
The wood stacks for the boilers, are so-so, you can go to any decent hobby/train store and get some ho scale wood and replace them to look more authentic. The real vessle would have had some rope and other things on the main deck as it was a cargo carrier as well, cotton bales were plenty.
Hope this helps
Jake
