The ship looks really good....

It is stunning how Kostas succeeds time and again to present the a ship in its natural environment, if it belongs there and without getting 'boring' - that is to say, the variation in bases adds to the variety...

I have to admit that, if I ever have the money, the 1/350 model is on the top of my list...

Cheers,

Harm

Thank you Harm.
Funny enough i got a commission last week to built the 1/350 version of that from ISW so keep an eye to see how it will turn out that kit in a couple of months.
