Kim,
You say you're good with a needle? I've seen this kit (and the Heller 1/100 Victory) with the ratlines done with a fine needle and finer thread just run through the shrouds...no need to do knots (particularly in this scale). The lines are just beautiful. You might consider this.

I would agree with the "flimsy" comment, particularly with regard to the bowsprit. And just wait till you try to rig the 1/100 Heller Victory@! My solution was my local hobby shop and very fine brass rod for the mast tops and bowsprit. A little 5 min epoxy and you can just about apply as much tension as you'd like, without needing anything!.
