I was just told this was in Squadrons new flyer. 6 feet 5.5 inches of fiberglass / resin! With 10K bolts? Resin white metal and PE set. Shipped to you in a crate! I dont know who makes it yet. Has anyone else heard of this kit? #:-)

Cheers,
Garry

sadly it's not their most expensive kit either! That distinction (infamy?) goes to this one:

mill modelling have done articles on both these kits and the u-boat has been done in a drydock dio this really has to be seen as the dio has to be around 8ft + long! also the roman boat is done hitting another ship ultra impressive stuff

As Higgins would say, "Oh My Gawd!---Zeus, Apollo ---ATTACK!!!" One of my local shops has one of those horses sitting up on top of one of their racks. The thing's been there for the better part of a year; once someone sees the price, their jaw drops and they move along.
