Hi, Charles, I have seen that Lindberg model online, as well as a Revell kit (1/232 scale) and what is said to be a re-issued version based on the Revell mold sold by "Encore", a company I am not familiar with. There i also a 1/700 version from Combrig. The Encore kit is being offered in two packages, one standard plastic kit, the other "premium" kit includes etched details and veneer wood decking...but there is no reason this fine ship can't be available in paper, and can be made just as good as any of the other offerings, perhaps even as good as a limited edition issued by Bluejacket (which is a real fine looking kit!).
Would make a fantastic Christmas gift if someone took this on as a new design project....
Cheers!
Jim
