Review Summary

The reviews highlight that the model kit offers excellent detail and a large parts count, though some assembly challenges exist, particularly with hull joints and main gun turrets. Many appreciate the ease of finding paints for camouflage schemes and the impressive display quality after completion. While the build can be time-consuming, the overall consensus is positive regarding the kit's design and detail.

Good kit, no problems at all

By: masterchief191

This is a great model kit, it was maybe my third or fourth ship to build. This model was very detailed and there were absolutely no problems with part fitments in this kit. Also, the paints required for the camouflage scheme were simple to find. this website has them as well as your local hobby store or hobby lobby.

Good detail and size

By: kal.gubics

I hand painted camo. It was a little rough but the colors really standout. I display it with my souvenir piece of her teak deck i got on visiting her in Wilmington! Hard to beat a Trumpeter kit. I did her up with the deck blue. Do some research on color!
