the plastic is not brilliant, soft detail, overscale thicknesses etc etc, I'm guessing in the design of the etch it was a more elegant solution to change everything out rather than marry the bad with the amazing.Raoul Kunz wrote: - seriously: where all the bridge plastic parts unusable? - I mean that's totally possible given the kit's age but boy if this isn't the hardcore PE experience I don't know !
Are the bodies of the dingies resin? they certainly look the part but I wouldn't preclude a balsa wood body...

The dinghy is resin yes, funnily enough cast by the company who I used to work for there is another one of these to build, and then 6 carley floats, which again are resin and etch.
