Soleil Royal - DeAgostini/Mantua Sergal Kits

[Jonathan_219]

Even though I'm deep in my current build I've really enjoyed looking at kits and thinking about what my next project will be and I'm intrigued by the Soleil Royal. I really like ships of this era and am hoping to be able to move up to something this complex after finishing my current build. I've been looking at these two different kits and other than the scale are there any major differences that might make one or the other a better kit? There are a ton of videos of deAgostini builds but I haven't found nearly as much on the Mantua kit and the build logs I've found are doing pretty extensive rebuilds for accuracy which isn't something I'm probably ready to do yet. Builds of both that I've seen look fantastic so I'm just interested in any feedback on these two kits that anyone would be willing to share.
