You're doing a fine job on the PE!

Just make sure to think about the order of attaching the photo etched material .. escpecially the railings - although there shouldn't ever be any problem with a little forethought. I, however, have managed to make trouble for myself more than once while building kits when my brain has not served to anticipate the easiest progression in the build.Embarrassed

Nice choice. I'm in a group build now, but once I'm finished with that, I'll be building my ship. Are you making this as a full hull or waterline build? I'm making mine as a waterline; I just can't see a ship out of water.
