Hi Dan,
Was going to say there was a review in model boats, but was beaten to it.
If you ring Metcalf, he will send you a photo cd of the build and finished thing. Personally, i'd say go for it. Its a good bit of kit for not a lot of money, its well worth it. The build apparently takes 300 hours or so but i dont keep track of it. I just did it as and when. I obtained the kit in June 2009 and completed it mid Jan 2010. I found the finished model is really heavy as i use two 7.5 amp lead acids just to make the bow sit on the water line. My build shows all. If you need any more phots, just ask and i'll see what i can do.
I'd 100 % have another metcalf kit, it was enjoyable and transforms into a very decent kit depending on the time you take on it.
Dan
