Trumpeter Hornet

Oh yes, one other thing. I saw that White Ensign Models has photo etch for this already. Should be pretty good stuff.

Here's another review. The red bottom is interesting. Not sure why they do such things.

I have the kit...and she's great...fit and finish is better than Tamiya in my opinion. There's been some controversy over the shape of the bow...when you look at the ship head-on, the bow is too thick, it should have a teardrop shape...of course, if you build the model waterline, it's a moot point.

For the price, the size, and the ease of assembly, it's a great kit.

There's a review on our site, www.modelwarships.com, click on What's New and take a read.

I'll be doing a full build-up review shortly.
