Review Summary

The reviews highlight a generally positive reception for the kit, praising its detailed design, impressive size, and overall value for the price, though it can be time-consuming to build, especially with the aircraft assembly. Some challenges noted include tricky decals that tear easily, the need for additional aircraft or equipment for full deck coverage, and issues with authenticity in paint and certain parts like hangar bay doors or adhesive quality. It is recommended for a range of skill levels, with some customization options available, but may require patience and additional resources for optimal results.

Worth it price, very beautiful aircraft model, but some small part not very good adhesive. Not recommend to beginner.

Awesome kit

By: Andrebourret5

This kit is very nice. The boat is a simple build that wont take too long. The decals can be tricky to get on straight as they can tear easily and it is difficult to move them once they are on the model. The part that is most time consuming for this model are the planes. The kit comes with around 20 planes. If you want to completely cover the deck with planes then get 4 or 5 of trumpeters aircraft carrier plane kits that come with 6 planes in each. The decals are small and require a lot of patience to get on correctly. Overall this kit can be a little frustrating with the planes but it will come out looking great with some time and patience.
