>>5705869>>5705864If it's not too late, I would suggest getting Dragon's Z-38, Z-39 or Z-31/32 kit instead. I've built the Z-38 myself and it is a really nice kit, I think probably better than Trumpeters in engineering and design. All of these kits are basically the same hull with some differences in armament, the superstructure, etc.
Also get an eduard photo etch upgrade set for it, I believe they sell one for the Z-39, but it works just as well for the Z-38.
The reason why I would avoid trumpeter is because their photo etch is dogshit. It's too soft, their railings often aren't even pre-designed for the kit, and are just a fret of railings you have to cut to length and bend yourself.
That said, if you already bought the Trump Zerstroyer, get an eduard photo etch set for the railings at least, as it will definitely be an improvement over whatever Trumpeter has in the box. (I just looked up the kit and I am right, the photo etch is NOT pre-designed for the kit, it's the same shit soft railings you have to cut to length yourself).
