MSW crew-mate Devin Poore (Devin) shares this "inbox review" is of a kit from Cottage Industry Models Ltd., that is part of the larger C.S.S. Albemarle kit from the same manufacturer, but is now being offered as a small, stand-along product.

Hi Devin!

Good review on a interesting subject!
CIM used to be one of my favorites Cottage industries, being their 1/72 HL Hunley and CSS David one of their best products, imho.

Thanks for sharing it with us - looking forward to see it built!

Cheers,
Rui

Thanks, guys. I have a few more of their kits that I'll be sending reviews in on: the USS Keokuk, the CSS Albemarle, and the HUGE USS Monadnock, all in 1/96th scale resin.
