Hi folks,
You'll know from my other threads that I've been a bit busy recently and not had much time for modelling.
I have not been totally model free though. I picked this kit up at Cosford (I think) and paid the princely sum of £8. You can see that it is very 'toy like' and was originally meant to be an RC kit. It's got a one-piece hull and was a doddle to build; apart from some flash on the thinner pieces.
As it was originally a toy, I built it as one straight out of the box and it's going straight onto my grandson's model shelf.
I don't know about the dimensional accuracy, but I'll bet the super detailers among you ship builders could produce something really good as it's such a large scale for a ship (1/150).
