I like these tiny, inexpensive 1:700 Five Star Model kits, but I'm not thrilled with the assembly guides provided, that show parts on the model that aren't included in the kit, and don't show parts that are included. They can be quite a challenge to assemble, requiring a steady hand, needle-point tweezers, and magnification, but are quite satisfying to work on.

Yes that's right. Often the flagpoles and the small boats are missing.
Besides this you get a two weekends kit 😄 . And the optional parts are always handy for other projects 😄
