Need advice from Big Five experts!

Posted by Jeff Spencer on February 22, 2026, 22:45:37

I was not aware Trumpeter made a 1:700 USS Maryland in 1941. She was always my favorite Big Five ship in 1941. I am one happy #&@!!%!. I need some G2 from the Big Five people!

(1) Who makes the best Big Five resin/printed cage masts in 1:700?

(2) Does this kit get Maryland's new-in-1941 torpedo bulges right?

(3) Any Trumpeter howlers on this model I need to know about?!

Thanks, gents, glad for this forum! After this it's Tennessee using Jeff Sharp's new found photo!
