Hello raflaunches, Thanks very much for your very helpful opinions, I’m now much closer to making a decision.
The ship I want to make is Magnificent, and Jonathan told me if I bought Hannibal I would get a more advanced kit and all I had to do was to paint her in Magnificent’s colours and call her Magnificent.
By the way, as I want to make her as a static display model how much of the kit do I not need, and do you think there’s a chance I might be able to swap those bits for something else? Or a discount?
If it’s a swap can you suggest What I should ask for in the swap.
FYI, I got the price for her plans from the Nat Maritime Museum, £384!!
