That does look like a pleasant straight forward build. The three piece hull doesn't bother me. I build for my own amusement and not a museum. I rarely use PE and greatly prefer 350 scale. My eyes are done with 700 unless it's something I really really want.

Some of the 3D stuff coming out is truly amazing. I've done one so far, a 144 subchaser. I'm eyeing the 350 Hunt class DDs but am still a bit reluctant to order from China. Nothing political I just hoping things calm down a bit.
