- Judge 1
- A nice effort, especially for a resin kit. The scratch built elements really add to the scale fidelity of the finished product. A thinner material for the antennas would enhance this further still. I like all of the additional stowage, as it really adds some interest to the subject. The depth of finish looks nice with some good tonal variation, however the photos are a bit dark so it’s difficult to asses properly. Some of the surface imperfections on the aft hull shown in the pre-paint shot, are still visible on the finished model. Re. the photography, try adding a bit more lighting from another source location as this will really help eliminate the heavy shadows that hide much of the detail. Also if your camera allows, try adjusting the aperture (higher F stop) to achieve a bit more depth of field. Wayne

- Some of the photos are a little blurred, dark and on the small side, so it is hard to fully judge the model accurately. The general finish and assembly look good. A lot of effort has been put into the stowage and this has paid off nicely. The model may be worth a higher score than I have given but sadly the photos probably don't do the model justice.
- Judge 3
- Photo quality greatly affected the final judgment on the Kit. Assembly seems good, especially considering that weare judging a resin kit.On the other side is hard to give an assesment on painting and wheatering,due to the blurred and dark picture. Nice work on storage an detailing.
