I had the KPC downloaded and printed for some time, and finally started building it last fall. Right away it was obvious there were many errors: most obvious was the model was a v-hull, whereas the real ship was flat bottomed like the Olympic and Mauritania class ships. The scale was supposed to be 1/200, but I calculated it as about 1/350. This was probably because the original model was printed in Europe on European standard paper, and I printed the scan on US standard 8 1/2" X 11" card. The decks were different widths, which I was able to compensate somewhat. The siderails didn't fit right and looked terrible. At this point I gave up and stopped building.
