Welcome packfan,
Let me know how it goes. I've been looking at that kit for a little while, haven't quite justified the size to my wife. When I finish 4 of the 6 kits that I have going, then I can get it

Hi there packfan, welcome to the club. If you are looking for info on this particular ship, check out modelwarship.com or steelnavy.com.

I started to build her, but it's on indefinite hold right now pending a move back to the good ol' US of A.

The only problem I have run in to so far with it though is the hull was warpped when I put the hull pieces together. That was fixed by running a bead of glue around the flight deck, attaching the hull, then turning it over and placing 2 dictionaries on it for weight for a couple of hours while it set up and dried. By the way, I am doing a water line version.

Welcome to the club. I never built the Revell, but did once build the Aurora, which is from the same mold. All I can say is that it is a good introductory model since it really doesn't have the mold quality or detail that the Tamiya has, but goes together really fast.
