I built the ATF WW2 camo version of this kit, and I must say that it was one of the best and most satisfying builds I have yet completed. I believe that it went together very easily, and very well and what seemed like a simple ship certainly built up into a little gem!
To make it even better, follow Mike McCabe's build of the ATF which takes you step by step through the whole assembly - stress free modelling!

Hi Mark and Peter
And there's Rob's salvage dio too!
Having the pleasure of seeing all three Navajo's in Telford last year, I must say that it is difficult to say which was best... they all were!
Good review Mark!
Good job Harry

Excellent review as always! This kit is definitely on my short list of must-haves.

I have the later version of this cutter and it is a beauty. Harry's work is first class.

Thanks for the kind words, they are always appreciated!!
Hope you enjoy the kit as much as I enjoyed making the master.
I think Peter is correct, this is my best effort to-date.
