Welcome acorona!!

Dupe's has a great link there. Mike's work is excellent!! That is a big ship to come out of the gate with! Tae your time and I am sure things will be nice!! I have her in the stash myself. All depends on what you are looking to get form here. Out of the box (OOB)this is a great kit. Being new and not knowing your level, I would add a word of caution if you were thinking of one of the Lion Roar or Pontos upgrade set. Beautiful stuff but unless you have a little experience with Photo etch (PE) then hold off this time around.

Build in sub-sections. Build smaller section of the superstructures and assemble after painting. The result will be much better. If you are not planning to buy any of the larger upgrade sets, consider buying at least the PE railing set...or one of them. The PE railing add so much to the final result on these ships!!

Rigging can be tedious but there are some great options now that work better than stretched sprue and string. Uschi va der Rosten has some great rigging line and at a great price. After that....have some fun!! If you get stuck ask a question...there is always someone around willing to help!!

Good luck!!
