I'm actually using the shipyard works set. I took the two side by side and both were outstanding. Initial impression was the shipyard works instructions were better. I have learned a lesson 🙂 There is a good bit of mislabeling and a lot of things were not documented very well. This is my first really big ship project and there was a steep learning curve. If you are interested in the SS set, make me an offer! There is also plenty of room for improvement on the Hasegawa parts and a few that you probably will never see once things are buttoned up. Both sets do a really nice job with replacement parts and the PE is beautiful. The gun replacements are super fine and fragile and they fought my big clunky fingers. I am actually going to use the Eduard 25mms.

Hey Dave, sorry for the delay in responding - I've been out of town. These big detail sets really do take a lot of work and experience. I started with the Hasegawa Shimakaze destroyer with Infini detail set and learned a lot. It also helped that I worked on a few 1/700 kits to understand what usually goes where and how to apply it. I can only imagine how much would go into a big set like the SS Model set.

If you have a price in mind, feel free to PM me. I need to doublecheck to see to what extent that set duplicates what Hasegawa has already put out. It looks a bit more comprehensive at the outset just given the resin parts and brass barrels.

Without super close up's, it does look really good 🙂 It has improved my PE skills a lot. Very excited about the next big project.
