Yes, I have both the Trumpy kit you have and the Dragon Z-39. I haven't taken the time yet to compare them "in the box" to see how much they differ in detail, etc.. As I said above, I really like a lot of the stuff in the Eduard BigEd set you are using, I'm just concerned about issues arising due to the thickness of the PE decks as compared to the kit decks that my scratch building skills just aren't up to coping with.
Did I understand you correctly to say that you have only been building styrene model ships for about a year? If so, you have certainly developed some great skills and techniques in that year. Your build really looks great. I'm very impressed with what you have done with her!
