Modelship Dockyard - New Kit [Modelship Dockyard] PoF H.M.S. Enterprize 1774, the 1/48 version!

The quality of the kit is amazing its just so disappointing that important bits are not there
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.

Can find any doors or brass hinges surely these are included
Ive built the bulkheads
This is getting stupid

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
