Looks pretty nice, a bit smaller than I thought it would be (the real thing was 824' 9", so just over 14"), but it also doesn't have a zillion teeeeeny pieces like the Dragon & Trumpy.
And, the planes are molded as one piece, no itty bitty wheels to put on.
Not sure why Trumpy insist on molding those tiny wheels separately.....parts count???
But... it only includes 12 aircraft, for a ship that carried 90??, but they look good, molded in blue.
And It's 'waterline" only, guess I should have realized that, but I'm new to this ship modeling stuff!
Should be easier than the Dragon or Trumpeter.........tbc.
