HMS Cossack 1:1200 Airfix and Eaglewall

the Airfix kit is currently available as part of the "Sink the Bismarck" set, price £19.99

There is a Britmodeller review of the Sink the Bismarck set, which shows all the sprues.

Cossack is probably the weakest model in the set.

The comparison photo shows at the front the Eaglewall model, which has some of the lean look of a destroyer. It also includes a rear mast.

In the middle is Cossack, out of the box, except about a millimetre has been shaved off the bottom.

At the back is the Cossack hull, as supplied, which is far too tall for a realistic waterline appearance.

Plus points: the length of the kit is correct for 1200 scale.

The main gun barrels are extremely thin and have the correct scale appearance.

The above remarks are not to detract from the Airfix set as a whole, just a caution that it might be best to start the build with one of the other ships!
