PLAN Destroyer Kai Feng
Posted by paulhelfrich on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 7:42 PM

This is the AA 1/200 scale model of the Chinese PLAN Type 051 Luda-class destroyer Kai Feng. 

I won this kit in a raffle in 2006 and don't know very much about it.  Neither does my cat.  Smile    I've never heard of "AA" models in any other context. 

The kit quality was not high; fit was terrible, lots of seams, sink marks, and flash, and most of the kit pieces were not well-detailed.  I did my best to dress it up with bits of styrene and wire, and I added scuttles with small brass rings.  I determined early on that it wasn't worth investing in a PE set for this one, so I used the styrene railings included with the kit.  In 1/200, they're actually not too bad.

All the troubles aside, it came out quite nice. Those big scale destroyer kits do look impressive.
