The completed model is just over 26" long, and is impressive. |

My daughter calls it "The Christmas Boat." I have no idea
why DGzRS chooses the colors they do, but it seems most if not all of their
vessels follow this same general scheme. |

For comparison sake, here is the stock kit-supplied flight

The (second) beautiful Eduard piece nearly complete. Yes,
it requires lots of bending of many parts, but in my opinion is worth it. |

Here's the completed flightdeck from aft, looking up the
garage ramp. Pretty cool effect, in my opinion. |

The Eduard kit contains (most of) the bridge wing controls.
Curiously, the Revell kit neglects the nav-light cutouts in the bridge

Verena is another kit in itself, and with the addition of
the PE parts, really a project in its own right. |
