Are those PE Oerlikons and boat davits I see?...very nice! Even the ship's boats are decently done! A little refining here and there, especially on the mast, and maybe AM main armaments, and it looks like a real nice model.

The armor modelers really seem to like their 1/72 scale vehicles so they have experience in molding small stuff that looks good. At less than $13.00 US, I'll be getting one of these destroyers myself.

A new tooled Royal Navy WWII Destroyer? Now this I have to get! I'm hoping it could be the start of a range of new destroyers.

Would a British Hunt Class be possible OOB, or with little to 0 conversion? Or will we have to wait a few more months for that particular version?
