went to my local shop last night to simply pick up some paint, metallizer to be exact. I tried to stay away from the model shelf. Oh no, there it was. I have been wanting it for so long. There it was in all its original packaging, boxart the whole enchillada. It was also 5 bucks off. So, assuming I might not be able to find it again, for a while, I brought it home and gave it a nice warm place to live. Yes, I bought the 1:48 Slow but deadly Dauntless, 1:48 by accurate in the original box, not the white boxes they are offering now. I opened it up and it looks good but more importantly, as much as I hate the directions in these kits, the detail looks fabulous. Also, the color picture on the bottom of the box and inside the box is priceless. It is a finished model, the way all companies should do it. Give you something to shoot for.
I built the Hasegawa version about 6 months ago and it needed a partner next to the 5 corsairs on the shelf. It was crying for a partner, a wingman so to speak.
Anyway, anybody build this and what did you think?
