I have seen a great meme for this...
Happy Treason Day, ungrateful colonists... lol
regarding the hull plating, the reason might be, that you have a stable point of reference. Upper hull plating consists of one plate for each side. It is easy to trim bottom plating to matching angle, when you only need to take a little sliver off. Its substantialy harder to achieve straight line with many sheets, isnt it.

You know, good thing with this kit is, you can start over any time. If you not happy. Some people redo parts numerous times out of wood, paper is so much cheaper...

stuff you built 40 years ago would be of no problems nowadays. besides, i don't think that Chinese knock offs even existed by then...
but then, i am no moderator. maybe they will have different idea

Regarding no tolerancies, i think you are meant to fair and sand the hull until it all fits exactly. That is meant for the bow and stern ends of keel. Pretty much, the sheet needs to fit from centre of one former to the centre of next one, with exception of the bow and stern.

Btw the kit is dormant for a good part of last 6years... thing with paper is, it doesnt go brittle, since its not painted it wont loose colours... i like paper model building for the fact that you need almost no tools.
the qualityof paper used for laser cutting is, as Dan Vad would tell you very good.

A little sneak peak to what you can expect from the kit. It also contain a few tubes of acrylic paint, which i swapped for different brand. The glue supplied is horrendous. If i have known what kind of rubish it is, i would have ditched it a long time ago.

well, i could say on my behalf, that its not easy, but also its not hard. i managed to build hull of the Le Coureur to relatively good standard, but poor choice of glue have prevented me from continuing it. one day i will take it apart and start over.
also, you have to be confident in doing your own paint job. kit is supplied on plain cardboard, all laser cut, you just have to assemble it and then paint it.
i would probably consider building something for the beginners first, as otherwise you are risking it turning into a quite costly fire-starting kit. that's meant to be when you fail, you start fire with it...
i don't mean to discourage you at all, just giving you a fair warning.

well, that's easy. copy it b/w and paint over it... that's what i'd do. you only need to get the basic outline of the parts and than paint over them using acrylic...
