We built this cheap Trumpeter kit as a beginner model for the 1/350 scale. The kit quality is not great and there was nothing included in the instructions regarding the painting job, so we had to improvise after some research made in internet. The kit is built out of the box, as we only added some rigging, the numbers on the sides and we used some additional parts to cover the hole in the deck for the motor switch (this kit could be built as a floating model as well).
