Construction: excellent building, very clean and well executed. Also the plent of details are well done. Very interesting the ability of integrate all different material in this stunnin manner. Coloration: well done! I like it and also decal positiong are very good. Weathering: I'm not an expert in naval vehicles, but I like the work you have done. Perhaps, some more dust on the lower parts could improve the general look. Conclusion: a really excellent model

Fantastic construction! Brilliant work with the balsa wood. It's clearly visible, that you know the wood, and you can handle it very well! Also the plastic and metal parts are very well built! The one and only thing what I don't like is the texture of the wood, as these vehicles were made from metal, or the base elements were metal, so the texture of the balsa is a bit strange. The colors, and the weathering is also very well done! Very nice model, a realy special subject, and a very good construction!
