Revell Germany 1/150 VASA kit

This kit was actually released several years ago and has received many outstanding comments. My only problem with the kit is the way that Revell made the gundecks and the cannons. They premounted all the gun carriages on a narrow strip of plastic with a longitudinal wall immediately behind the carriages.  They left the barrels as seperate pieces.  I would have much preferred to have full gun decks and seperately mounted cannons, which would have been reasonable given the extraordinary care given to the overall accuracy of the kit.

I have built this model and was impressed except for that bizarre feature.  I suppose that it beats the dummy barrels of the Airfix kit!

Yes, I believe at least one person on this site has (David K) and probably more.
