Hobby Boss USS Kearsarge LHD-3 – Build review and photos of the Hobby Boss USS Kearsarge LHD-3 model kit in 1/700 scale displayed at sea complete with amphibious vehicles and two submarine escorts
Hobby Boss makes a decent kit. This one of the USS Hopper in 1/700 was no exception. Quality-wise the plastic that the kit was made from was very good. The scale is not that big. At 1/700 this model of the USS Hopper was certainly a big test for the eyes, while a steady hand is needed too. Building the model presents very few issues. That said there are some…
Tamiya Yamato 1/350 Scale is a beast of a model kit in terms of its overall size. They tend to be quite an expensive kit but can be picked up second hand from time to time.
This purchase was the latter, it came at a low price off an auction site. At the time I never really thought much of it. But some weeks later when I began the construction I noticed it had been started a bunch of parts were missing.
Zvezda Petr Velikiy Russian Warship is a superb quality model. Even at 1/700 scale, it makes up into a nice size ship.
Having never tackled a model by Zvezda I was worried about what may arrive when it was shipped to me. Well, I need not have been. The mouldings were crisp while very little work was needed to clean up the parts.
Charles de Gaulle by Heller at 1/400 scale is a model for some time that I have wanted to build.
Truth is that this kit is certainly not for the faint-hearted. Maybe my Charles de Gaulle by Heller was a from a bad batch, who knows, what I can say it was a nightmare.
Revell USS Arizona 1/426 is a kit I have had sitting about for a while. So after finally getting it done here are some thoughts and photos of the build.
As kits go I think the Revell USS Arizona 1/426 is very old. On the moulding, there was the date 1959. As a result of its age it was not and crisp as more modern kits.
