Looks like Revell have been improving this kit, presume it comes with etch

Looks smart

And a wooden deck if I'm not mistaken, and most likely a hefty raise in price...........Smudge

[Dave Swindell]

And turned brass gun barrels, masts etc, wood decking and no doubt a substatial price tag

[Shar2]

I believe it's going to be just around £90 ish.

Gotta say i am very likely to pick this up, when you look at the price for some of the 1/350 scale detail sets around 90 pounds is very reasonable,

At last - They've done something about the comedy Oerlikons!

I picked up one for £40 (Reduced from £60) when it was discontinued a couple of years back and it's sat in my stash - If the new one comes with all etched handrails, the wooden deck, (Looks like they've done something different with the main gunshield too - Looks like more etch) and all that other gubbins for £90 then it sounds a bit of a bargain.

However - And I don't have John Lambert's magnum opus to hand to confirm - wasn't it steel decking once you got past the foc'stle? (sp) - Best confirm that before I start removing all the planking on mine.

I think you are correct seem to remember the bridge etc. may have been wood but steel deck pretty much from the breakwater area to the stern,

Steve.
