I completely agree with Iangazeley, Phil Gollin, and Robert Leake.
Sage, scholarly men all.

Even if UK Secret Service by bribery, force, or blackmail coerced Very Fire to do a Furious, every RN dreadnought at Jutland, and those, no doubt hot sellers, all the RN armored cruisers, you can bet the Furious would cost more than the $270 of this 3D model, and, to boot, you'd be belted for hundreds of dollars more for photo etch (ugh), and 3D guns, etc. Unless ship modeling has become a competition to demonstrate buying power, and very disposable income, I'll go for the cost-effective option (and photo etch can go to the nether region), and these are 3D and paper.

I think Martin Quinn fired way over, by about 20,000 yards, and got a straddle on a dumbfounded mackerel. If he thinks plastic can compete with 3D printing, which can now bang out a 1:700 scale octuple pom pom with fine detail on the order of 1:100 scale warships of former times, he is on the payroll of Very Fire! Plastic is Kaput, and just in time because plastic models are no longer a bargain.

As for thick screens, the only thick screens I noticed were around the outside edge of the flight deck, and, after puzzling over this, I think this is an optical illusion caused by the angle of the camera, but I might be wrong. As the little girl says in Days of Heaven, "Nobody's perfect." And, I'll take a glorious, courageous Furious over the 15,000th Yamato, or the plethora of IJN. I do believe IJN garbage scows in 1:48 scale are the next big thing in IJN modeling.

My primary Furious gripe was that I will have to fill all of those slightly recessed guides for painting lines on the flight deck. Thankfully, unlike the hapless 1:700 Glorious, the designer did not engage in any plating disasters, and this sets this model on a higher plane than all of the "plating casualties" in plastic and resin of late.

Quite honestly, I consider Furious a bargain. I am cheered to see that, unlike the Japanese, and the last UK plastic model firm, the Chinese seem to have a liking for the RN, and this is expressed not by ever more Hoods and Ships That Sank With High Drama, but by producing a pretty big Furious, which would likely have never been done in plastic. That the utterly dreary USS Ranger has been done in 1:350 in plastic before the Furious which served from 1939 until the end of 1944 is mind-boggling. The first torpedo aircraft strike in history launched from a carrier (unless you count the floatplane torpedo strike in the Dardanelles as a carrier launch) was from Furious in Norway 1940. She, Ark Royal, and Glorious were the first carriers engaged against a superior aeronautical opponent in the Norwegian campaign, and they survived the aircraft (but Glorious did not survive Salmon and Gluckstein).

In sum, I am so glad there is a big, beautiful HMS Furious in 3D,in all of her oddity, and am very happy something other than sodding American carriers, and IJN gear has hit the market.
