Hi Sean

Thanks for posting - this is good news, a Renown in plastic at last .

I've got to ask; are those Airfix-style Aztec-steps/ ladders I see? I'm sure Kostas will strongly disagree

All the very best

Interesting choice for them to release. With the addition of a good PE set and some additional detailing it should be quite the nice project.

Thanks for the heads up.

They are not Aztec Karol , i think they belong to the fifteen dynasty 1000 AC, still bloody ancient .They don't seem to be solid but rather single pieces that u glue on.

Nice one Kostas.

Plenty of sun worshipers (nice pun heh?) on the Renown.

Cheerski

I've just had another look at the pics and I've got to say/add that the 8-barrel pom-poms look quite nice.

Cheers
