Our example of this all new kit is a test shot and overall is very good. The level of moulded surface detail is excellent and although I hate to say it, it's far superior to the Tamiya kit. That said, that modal is over thirty years old now. Revell's hull is split in two vertically, with the main deck fitting in place on top -all standard stuff, but Revell have even added detail here on the lower hull in the form of the induction vents and strakes etc., plus in-scale stabilizers. Revell have left the prop shafts as separate sub-assemblies to allow for a better level of detail. Moving on. and the main deck is a one-piece moulding that has a considerable level of surface detail including the deck hatches, lockers, ship's boat davits and the main and secondary gun barbettes. The breakwater assemblies are separate to allow a more accurate represent all of these parts. The anchor chains are pre-shaped individual parts and look the excellent. The superstructure is built up into separate sub assemblies whose parts show excellent levels of detail moulded into them. The main aircraft hangar door can be built either open or closed, and the aircraft even has a rudimentary cockpit, plus the option to have the Wings either folded or swept forward for flight.
