Has Anyone Tried Gold MM PE Kit for the Tamiya Bismark?

I got the 1/350 Bismarck from Tamiya for my birthday, and I really want to add some serious detail to it.

I fell off a roof in Nov. 2002 and suddenly had ALOT of spare time on my hands, so I decided to get back into scale modeling after 13 or 14 years when I considered it (don't kill me) "childish."

OK, I'm a jackass I admit it. Anyway, I've been getting alot better, even to the point of scratch building extras and stupid ideas like packing around 350 fiber optic strands into a 1/700 scale IJN Suzuya waterline kit but I've never even seen a PE kit, much less worked with one.

Anything y'all could tell me would be a real help. What comes in the kit, any special tools I can't live without (comp. doesn't pay me really well, so I'm on a tight budget.) how easy it is too use, anything I should be careful of, and any other ideas or tips I need to know.

Thanks.
