Needs Major Trimming

By: illiniteach29

This kit was a pretty easy build, that looks pretty decent at the end. However, there was a TON of trimming required to clean up the pieces. Not only that, the plastic seemed to be very brittle. Several pieces were already broken on the sprue. It's not a horrible kit, especially for the price, but to look good, it will need extensive trimming.

Easy model, looks great, a little fitting problem

By: roycraft3

When fully built, this 1/72 scale model looks quite big and impressive. Assembly is quite easy, although there are some fit issues. For instance, the deck skews slightly to the left despite fitting into the guide holes. This is pretty minor though and unless you look closely it's not that noticeable. This model was very enjoyable to make and when finished looks great.

Good model for JFK's ship

By: j.shields28

Excellent model. Any skill level could probably handle this model. The model is a convenient size for displaying, not small and not overbearingly large. An interesting issue about the model is that the directions say to paint the model gray, however, as you'll notice on the box and picture, the model is gray on the waterline and olive drab above it. I did the green. Turned out very nice. I suppose the choice would be up to you. Good model overall. It comes with 3 figures, including a Lt. JFK.
