Content of the box look very nice, professionally wrapped to prevent damage during transport. Nice instruction manual Immediately caught my attention, and have to admit that VM really take care to explain step by step for building the model. Also personal note from Chris ( quite nice ) is inside the box explaining small details for stern supports assembling
Wood looks good, A lot of PE parts specially for the small kit as this one. All parts looks nicely and precisely cut

Looking like a very well prepared kit - good to see if this is the case for the complete kit assembly.
I will follow your building log with big interest - Thanks for starting it

Hello: you must reinforce this part (marked with a red circle)
Hi Uwe , Really the kit itself is quite nice prepared. The thing fascinating are instructions with pictures and explanation. I believe that VM really take this to next level.Looking like a very well prepared kit - good to see if this is the case for the complete kit assembly.

That will be a nice project to follow
Amati is using Mdf too
I am not a great lover of MDF, after my experience with another kit using it which I threw away I think I shall stay with real wood.

Many kits manufacture using Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) for bulkheads and other structural parts. In my opinion, it is better than plywood in a sence that it doesn't not subject to extreme weather conditions, whether it is high humidity or vice versa - heat.
MDF does not warp either with temperature or humidity, better than ply in that sense.

I found with MDF if you break a piece off it was not very easy to graft another part on.

I totally agree, Janet. It is not an easy material to work with, but assembling multiple kits made in Russia I found MDF really rigged and a great substitution to the ply due to the fact it does not warp under weather conditions.
On another note: do you have any progress to share with us with you Hanna build? Please don't let us wait for long!
HANNA obtained from Lumberyard
I started my build of LUMBERYARDS HANNA IN December 2017 and as you can see from photo"s progress has been slow. I made so many mistakes I had to re-order more wood, which takes some time to deliver here in the U/K, how-ever my enthusiasm remains undaunted more pic"s to follow
