I just got a hold of Trumpeter's 1/144 scale Seawolf Class Attack Submarine. I really like it. Does anyone else have the kit, thoughts on details, etc?

Hi Jim,

Picked one up myself, some time ago. The kit looks good
as far as the details are concerned but there is a fit problem
with the hull and the nose of the sub and as others have
said, the propulsion system is somewhat wrong.
But we are modellers and I'm sure that there is almost nothing
a file and putty can't fix...and of course a little patience.
Look around...I thought I had seen an article on making
corrections but can't remember where...maybe some of the
others can help.
Have a nice day and happy modelling,

Joe
