I believe this 3D product came from the World of Warships game and did not cost SS Models anything to obtain the print files. Anyway the really strange aspect is the casement guns. The forward ones look great but for some reason they decided to not include the after part (which has the breech block etc) of the gun on the rear two guns. As a result they look terrible. Only someone that knows nothing about warships, much less ever built any models, could ever put out a product with this kind of a flaw. I may end up just just using the tripod masts, fighting tops and the stack and related railings. One can make any mfg's kit better looking by using the various 3D parts if one is willing to pay the high price for this entire kit. Oh, and forget about instructions. But I am optimistic that I can fit the superstructure, stack, masts and fighting tops from the 3D printed kit and add 3D printed AA guns from other providers to come up with a reasonable outcome.........if you don't look to closely at the aft two casement guns. And can afford the considerable extra cost. Previous Message
I built the old MiniHobbyModels kit a long time ago. It sucked.
Are there any other choices now? Or am I stuck with that kit and more 3d printed parts to fix it's issues.
I've seen a Samek kit, MidshipModels, and the Dragon offering. Any others??
Lower hull doesn't matter, I prefer waterline.
