"Much better than I expected"
markw3xx (Texas)
Considering the small scale and the age of the molds, this is a very good kit. I just received it and plan to convert it to a post-war commercial tanker.

"Good starting point for a civilian tanker conversion."
markw3xx (Texas)
This kit is made from old molds in an odd scale, but the lines are clean and it is a good starting point for a conversion. There aren't many tanker kits available so this one fills a niche and the price was right. I started by cutting away all the molded in railings and inclined ladders along with the gun placements. I filled in the holes and used photo etched railings, inclined ladders, and water tight doors (all 1/500 scale) to dress the kit up as much as possible. With a little research and a lot of work, this kit can be turned into a decent civilian taker from the 1950's. I really enjoyed it.

 
"Hard to find tanker model"
crankeyogre
Nice model,hard to find model tankers. Could have had a little more detail but otherwise a nice addition to my collection. Shipment was fairly quick and price was reasonable, shipping costs are a little high, especially if ordering more than one item in order. I like Hobbylinc because of very nice selection of models.

 
"Excellent"

Would like to see more fleet oilers for plastic modeling from the 70s. USS Ashtabula AO51 Also older helicopter carriers from the 80s like: USS New Orleans LPH11
