#398 USS Constellation is missing step #15. There are several others with
problems, but I can't remember exactly which ones. It is often the Technic
plans that are not clear.
As Ronan Webb said, the problem is in the printing. High resolution, color
printing is expensive and not always an option. Likewise, building in front
of my computer is not very workable.
I would love to see it sold for a low price, I just can't imagine Lego doing
that. Their main interest is in selling more bricks.
