Revell RV05169 05169 US Navy Landing Ship Medium (Bofors 40mm) Plastic Model kit 1:144 Scale, Unpainted

I really feel bad for those unskilled modelers new in the hobby. If they were to get this model they would walk away and disgust and never build another model. It was difficult for myself to build and it came out looking terrible I have been building models for 56 years. Forget the clamshell doors and the ramp working as advertised. The selling thread idea of guardrail around the perimeter of the ship is one of the craziest ideas I've ever seen on a model. They would have been better just excluding the entire handrail. The instructions were very unclear and difficult to follow including all the paint Scheme instructions. One highlight of this model was building the small vehicles that go as cargo. I believe they save the model. I'm tempted to buy another just so I can have a redo I really want to throw the one I made in the trash. Good luck to whoever buys one of these to build.

The instructions are very detailed and in many languages and very small print. Color suggestions are over- zealous. I don't think we need 4 different shades of grey or 3 different shades of red, green black. This is a military ship (almost all grey). Also, the instructions have you drill many small in the plastic parts.

El producto llego abierto, La caja no tiene el plastico protector que las envuelve de fabrica para asegurar su hermeticidad. Los adhesivos que sostienen la tapa estan despegados.Las bolsas interiores que contienen las piezas no estan selladas y algunas estan pegads con cinta. La caja esta golpeada y habia un producto extraño, un carretel de hilo de coser , en la caja

I don't recommend revell products anymore too many ultra tiny parts that don;t fit well!!

Lots of little parts, glueing experience and patience helpful. I totally enjoyed building it.

A good product - with much detail and challenge. A bit pricy for me usually but I found it well worth the cost!
