Hey Guys,
I picked this kit up from one of the Hobby Shops earlier today. Does anybody know anything about the kit? From what I can see, it looks pretty good

Not a bad kit! Though I have not built this perticualer kit, it is along the same quality as the rest of Revells 1/570 Battleship kits. A lot of the detail is molded on rather then being seperate bits. But they do build into a nice model! Enjoy building it! :-)

I built it 40 years ago as a kid. Just built the Tamiya 350 scale one about 6 months ago and about 20 years ago built the 700 scale one. Seems to me that all built fairly easy and at the time were most satisfactory kits

Thanks for the comments, Guys
Yeah, I just picked it up for a change, I normally build Armour, Aircraft and Figures
My only gripe with the kit so far is that the Rudder is molded onto the hull, but a few scores with a scalpel should sort that out :-)
