So my Deans Marine Fairmile D arrived and as I get ready to start the build, I thought I'd share the contents of the box with you all. The kit arrived safely, in a very large box, everything inside being well packed. I've attached photos of the contents. Kit wise, after checking all the parts off, I have to agree with what many on these forums have said about the quality of some of the fittings. Many are not very detailed and I've already consigned some of them to the rubbish bin and will be getting an order in with Battlecrafts for some of their fittings. It's a comprehensive kit, the plan is very good and it comes with an in depth build manual. I also ordered the additional CD/R containing about 400 images of the prototype build.
Overall, I must say that I think the kit is well overpriced. There's no way the value of the items in the box comes anywhere near the purchase price. I'm also a bit miffed that I paid more for the kit direct from Deans Marine than If I had ordered it from either of the model shops I visited whilst I was researching my kit options. Also disappointed that Deans Marine charged for and used a fairly expensive courier, whilst the model shops would have delivered for free. Moral of the story is: don;t order direct from Deans Marine, go to your local hobby store and save a few quid.
