Yes agree, MD quality is fine. Have you noticed also that, there are no nails in set? Any nails for detailing, just strange for me.
I must scratch them from diffrent sets.

The making of these were planned to use the strips from the PE sheet. There were mentioning of this on page 70: "STEP 58 - WELL".
But yeah, as this page you shown is on a more previous page, this may do raise some confusion.
I have attached a image of the hinges on the pilot model, they were in a slightly different fasion by the idea of making it would be similar.

I'm sorry for not including the nails in, the nails should be made by brass strips cut and inserted into the planks/parts. The kit have overall potentially over 10000 nails like this: https://drydockmodelsandparts.com/products/tiny-nails-0-3mm-200-bag, and including them would be hard.
I cannot reveal here the cost for producing these nails, but they are sadly not cheap, so a good and affordable option is to use brass strips.

I understand, it's not a big problem, but it requires a lot of goid nails research.
I was referring to nails used for details and fittings on model, such as capstan, knee, anchor arm.

These would be fine But no instructions or diagrams
now devastated that the DEck Beams are NOT a shown in the Instructions which I downloaded and BOUGHT THE MODEL BECAUSE OF THE DETAIL
Blandford was great with three part sandwich but this model has nothing
If i had bought it in UK I would be demanding my money back

The reference of the deck beams were physical drawings instead of illustration on the instruction. The beams were indeed no longer sandwich style, we did this to make the beams looking more authentic. In beams were not in sandwich style in reality, and to make them that way would cause a clear separation look. We gathered feedback from the Blandford and early release version of the Enterprize in China, many reported that it was not a good style, so we have changed the fasion of the later version.
The deck beams are not hard to make, there were physical drawings of the beams provided in the kit showing all the grooves and where they should be cut. Each beam have a reference, "a" for bow side and "b" for stern side, mark the grooves and cut them, then the beam is done.

Here I included a image from British National Maritime museum - https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-67757
This type of beam could be achieved by using the current method we provided, but not the sandwich style we used to. Second image was the early pilot where we used the sandwich style.
