    [:)]JUST A QUICK REVIEW HERE. Both kits were packaged very well. Arrived intact no damage.

    VDT: nice hull quality. Strong, thick and very smooth. A beauty. The cupolas are molded in nicely.

    Konig: Same very nice lines no blemishes on the hull. Excellent work and quality.

    Sub decks. Really nicely cut Strong and thick. Some sanding required to fit in the hulls but that is normal. Nice large open hatches.

    VDT superstructure parts. Nicely molded,smooth and solid. CLEAN molding. Very basic and simple.

    Konig: Not much there. Same material as Nagato kit superstructure, some kind of foam incased in a resin type of coating. Funnels are split in 2 halves. Not much to add here.

    Decks: Thin but well cut and match the hull nicely.

    PLANS. Basic but accurate. Not a lot of heavy detail printed but enough for a combat ship.

    Overall 2 good quality kits.

    Been working for a good bit on My BC Konig. I will agree with this review on it. There are allways little things each builder will want to improve. But very good kits.
