So I couldn’t help myself and bought (pre-order) this when I saw it is being released. I have been hoping someone would come out with this kit in this scale for years. I would also like to see a Ford class carrier in this scale , but thats another story. I sure hope it makes it here by my birthday in July! Fingers crossed! Anyone else going to pull the trigger on this one? Hapy building everyone!
Oh My! You got a Big Un";
I haven’t pulled the trigger on the Missouri or Iowa yet!
I’m about 75% complete with the Big MO. Got the Titanic , Yorktown and Enterprise (all in 1/200) lined up. Not sure whos next up on the building table! LOL
Those are some big ones! Pics?
OMG! Where do you find the room for these big kits?
tjs
who makes it ? ,
I’ve done the arizona , bismarck , and the big mo .
I saw this and wondered if I could sneak it passed the better Half and where the hell would I put it. Also about $580 to buy…YIKES
I can’t figure out how to post pics without using whatever app they are asking for.
With all the kids gone, I took over the back bedroom. I now have a proper hobby room!
I just received this from Freetime Hobbies. Gallery version, well packed and arrived unscathed. I have two Nichimo kits of this in 1/200. Those hull moldings are significantly thicker and heavier than this latest (Trumpeter/Gallery) release, which might explain why there is so much interior bracing already installed on the Gallery hull. Exterior detail of hull far superior to Nichimo version. From the instructions I’ve viewed, everything looks far superior to Nichimo in detail and accuracy. Only nitpick is where is the rigging scheme? Otherwise, what a kit! Wondering if my Artwox decking set for the Nichimo might possibly work on this kit.
