Hi Karl, yes, model will come with turned barrels of 14' guns, metal propellers shafts, and metal chains for anchors. Look at this picture. LINK Cheers Wojtek

The email that came with the test shots said railings are included with the PE, but not on the test build. This is going to be a major hot one for just about every ship builder. The more I see of this lady the more she impresses me.

Hi Jim, did you know when this Lady should be available ? I think that with some Eduard or WEM stuff it will be really astonishing. Cheers Wojtek

This is looking really interesting, I am started to get tempted, even though the ship & scale are outside my regular areas of interest. damn temptation. Si

I found this photo today on the net... or better check this link LINK and click photos to enlarge... or this one... LINK Any ideas about Trumpeter 3702 ?? Wojtek

It looks like they left in the awkward deck seam on the quarterdeck. Take a look beneath barrels of the third turret. --Karl

I noticed that too Karl, sticks out like a sore thumb. Wooden deck or very delicate work with putty to make that vanish. This scale also screams for extensive PE to up the detail. That will make the whole package very expensive. Still an attractive model though. Julian

I have already bought an old Heller galeon and I'am training "vanishing" of gaps in "wooden" decks... I bet that BIG ED for Arizona will cost almost same money as Trumpeter kit....

This kit looks pretty amazing, but I'm scared off by Trumpeter's hit-or-miss reputation. Seeing how the deck breakdown (three sections) is identical to the old Revell kit makes me hesitate to buy this. Surely in this day and age, in this scale, there would have been a way to design around this? Am wondering what other short cuts were taken to bring this to market? I'll wait and see what Lindberg's looks like.
