Hi gang,

Found this while browsing:

Looks like the Trumpeter kit will definitely have full interior and a crew of 48 figures!

WOW for sure and a MSRP of £399.99

Received mine last week......W O W!

Any thoughts on what type of cement (currently use Tamiya thin)...to use to join such a huge expanse of crystal clear plastic to the gray plastic?
Thanks

If you dip the clear in future you can use CA glue without fogging!

I'm planning on chopping holes in the clear and doing a more standard cutaway.
