I just received my Merit PT boar from Freetime. Looks like 20" of pleasure (that's what she said! ). Moldings look clean and crisp, and definitely look Trumpeter-ish; good fit is yet to be determined. Detailing and rails are suitably fine, and canvass parts are textured and wrinkled. The Bofors, and Oerlikons, and .50 cals are not bad for plastic, but could (and probably will) be replaced with RB and Hauler products. A small PE fret is provided as is a rather uninspiring model stand. No doubt specific AM parts will be forthcoming, and hopefully crew figs.
