Zvezda9014 Russian Cruiser Varyag Kit

I am using this as a supplement and guide to the immensely intimidating Artworks variant, which uses resin and brass for nearly everything and is immensely intricate. So intricate that I cannot not build it without the extra parts and instructions from this kit.This kit has directions, which really help, and the level of detail is surprising. There are many components here which are comparable to the detail of the more exotic product. Some are better. All are much better than those typical of other ship models. A model built straight from this kit will have the potential to look absolutely fantastic.Kudos to Zvezda for issuing a WWI ship. With it's narrow beam, four stacks, intricate structures, and "ram" style bow (There was a time when planners envisioned ramming the opponents ships!), this model offers a fascinating and superbly executed introduction into the early days of steam and steel.

i've built a ton of models, and maybe its just me, or the way mine came, but i had issues getting the hull on this to fit together... after countless attempts, i gave up on it.

great

Bad thing-Made in the USSR

Muy satisfecho, deberían vender mas modelos de vapor de esta epoca

La relación calidad precio está muy bien. Aunque hay que retocar algunas piezas por el desencare del molde en general está muy bien. Aún no la he terminado pero me está gustando mucho, volveré a comprar modelos de esta marca.

Fue un regalo, le gusto mucho

Muy bueno, hace años que hago barcos de modelismo en plástico y tengo que decir que es de los mejores que he comprado. Tiene un nivel como Tamiya u otra marca buena

This model kit isn't suitable for beginners are there are too many small parts. Unlike more modern ships, the superstructure is built on slender columns. Unfortunately these parts are attached to the sprue at their mid points. As a result they require careful removal and trimming of excess plastic.There are some moulding defects but by and large they don't spoil the final result. The layout of certain parts on the sprues makes the preparation of some parts more difficult than they need to be.A nice interesting kit that requires some patience and a lot of time to assemble. Overall it is good value for money.
