I've had this model for years. It's devoid of detail, more or less like the real ship. I read previously about cutting laser parts, why, the point is they are precut. Anyway, highly recommend laminating your decks with CA glues. Been doing that for years with great results, no bowing or twisting.

Sounds like this is your 1st paper model based on your questions. I would have recommended a smaller much older kit to start. It allows you to develop your skills and you won't care if you ruin a kit or two. Patience is key. Instructions are pretty much useless in this format of modeling. Just follow the basic numerical order and laminate as needed.

Avoid paper rails if you can, they are overscale and way too fragile. Don't add the screws or rudder till you're almost done, handling the hull is a bitch and I guarantee you'll break them off.

Good luck, looking forward to your results. Italian ships if nothing else were beautiful.
