No rest for the wicked aye?

This looks like a fun build and it will give you a break from all the photo etch work.

Thanks for posting all these close up sprue shots, you basically just created an in box review. Smile

Cool.  I like watching these smaller boat builds.  They are interesting craft compared to the monster battleships and carriers.

Thanks,

I didn't relize that this was a new mold kit. Thought it was the poor , tired old blob from the 60s.Those sprues look sweet and I will have to grab one. 

Looking forward to the progress.

Have started work on the Hull. I was surprised to see the Fit was not the best with their Parts Breakdown. Had to do a lot of Filling and sanding to get to this stage. More to come soon.....Cheers Mark

That is some very odd engineering in that parts breakdown. Wonder if there are other versions that require a different bow or drive plate.

Shouldn't be.  Bet it's related to the "how" the hull is moulded, that there was no way to not have some "traps" in the shape, so they needed a separate piece.

And, since it's Revell and not Tamiya . . .
