Being one of the ''nay sayers'' as Martin so elegantly puts
There is nothing wrong with a Deans kit if you have the time, patience of a saint and the ability's to fix the problems that will arise ( i say will not if for a reason!)
If your unsure about your ability's give it a miss until you have the confidence to go at it, there not for the faint hearted or an inexperience modeller ( if you have read my build log i'm sure you will see what i'm on about)
They do make very nice models once finished but it really is a matter of your ability's rather then the kit. As Martin says it may be a 2nd project, or one you spend years doing rather then 'knock it out' (which you just can't do unless you can work 8 hours a day 7 days a week on it!)
If you go down the deans route for a first large project (even their simple kits) there is always help at hand on the forum to guide you through.
