I built this for a friend who works in logistics. The Revell kit is quite nice, but why they chose to load the ship 100 % is beyond me. It looks very unrealistic and once you start modifying the containers you are in for a world of pain.

The containers come in this kit come in stacks and I had to "cut off" random containers here and there. Then I had to somehow close the resulting gaps, fill them, sand them. It is a VERY tedious process, albeit a rewarding one in the end. The PE from MK1 Design are incredibly delicate, incredibly beautiful, but they brought me to my eyes' limits. Some pieces were so small, it was very hard to see with bare eyes and equally hard to grab and hold with tweezers. This will definitely be the last time I am trying to glue PE in 1/700 scale to a ship.

Unfortunately I made many mistakes (check out the build process pictures) and the results are not perfect. But I am still happy with it.
