Thanks for the review
Kit is on the 'To buy'-list
I find it amusing that most (all??) kit manufacturers stick to the "logical" way of assembling. All the parts in one area are assembled/mounted before moving on to the next area. Large "heavy" parts are mixed with small fragile parts.
My personal preference is to assemble all the big parts, things that may need pressing together, before cluttering up the work area with the small and fragile parts.
Small parts obviously need to be mounted and maybe painted before that area of the model, usually the interior, becomes inaccessible.
I would certainly break a lot of the details on the upper hull when assembling the two hull halves ....

Nice review... and another "must have".
There's a typo in the title, though... Romosak means "they are in ruin" in Hungarian. (As in buildings or cities.)
