Lutz,
I agree that is a beautiful ship model. I would like to purchase one however the cost of 420.00 USD not including shipping and any applicable taxes, makes one think twice. It is within the basic scale one would need for HO scale model railroading (1/76 or 1/83).
I lean more towards the hull since it has the length and nearly the beam (within 25mm) of the model I attached. The hull doesn't really tell the ship size since it will be setting at water line depth. The superstructure, however, needs to be more so correct with the scale you are modeling. That being said, the price of the hull is also quite steep.
