There is all too often, some loss or offset to such implied advantages. A previous poster made reference to single-aspect side views, for example, and this can only be of much use when each depicted vessel was painted in identical patterns, both port and starboard.
Another obvious factor is that of colour replication accuracy. In the past, other publications have suffered from inherent systemic limitations in rendering authentic paint colours with print inks. Have both these issues been appropriately addressed?
If so, I'll likely be purchasing a copy of my own!
