Let’s start with the negatives

1..There are 10 half moon cuts at base of island where island meets flight deck . 5 cuts on each side opposite each other. Must have been hatch ways and they blew up for jeep to move through.

2. Now for a list of truly stinks …printed on search lights very poorly printed and under scale, 1.1s and gun tubs under scale, radars garbage.

3. Coated in some kind of liquid that pooled in the gun tubs.

4. Detail on island non-existent or poorly printed.

Now for the good points.

1. Aircraft Crane is excellent and detailed . Very nice. Rival photo-etch.

2. Tripod Mast is excellent but it is caught in a forest of attachment points and the only way to know mast legs is they don’t taper to base of platform. Don’t know if tripod mast will fit Trumpeter kit

3. Couple of good detailed masts.

Ok for $9.00 plus shipping via Chinese rickshaw you get a few good parts worthy of salvage. The island maybe worthy of salvage and repair but not worth my effort.
