Or in English St Mathias Cathedral, Budapest.
This is a smaller scale than the ususal Cathedral Kits made by people like Schreiber - it's 1:200. The kit comes in an A4 sized book published by 3D Karton in Hungary.
The instructions are in English, but are a bit sparse. I must admit I didn't follow the instructions very closely. For example, It suggests making the tower first. I did make it first but put it away in a safe place till the end. It has many small bits and would get in the way if it was added to the building first. I'm glad I made it first, it was good to get it done early on when the interest was still high. I left all the small towres, spires and gargoils to the end, again they would be very vulnerable if added early on.
There are plenty of pictures and the parts have an arrow with the numbers. Unforunately the pictures are small and "pixilated" on more than one occasion I had to use a magnifying glass to work out what went where.
The above sounds as if I didn't like it. The point is it was a good kit and I liked the subject. It is one of the best kits and compares very favourably with the "big" publishers. Also he smaller scale means that the "footprint" is managable at about 18X9 inches. The main tower is the problem at about 15 inches.
Cheers
