The attachments points for even the tiniest parts were clear on both the model and the directions. The parts required minimal trimming, and went together flawlessly. I immediately found the tolerances for the parts to be well above average. Not only that, each part was exactly reproduced on a graphic image, showing where the part was located on the sprue without the clutter of the of the posts holding each part, making the process of finding the part all that much easier. The instructions listed which sprue every part was located on, making them relatively easy to find. Ten pages of instructions didn't ease my concerns.Īs soon as I started the build, it was clear this would be different from my previous experiences with Revell.
Having bad experiences with Revell parts sprues in the past and terrible instruction manuals, my heart sank. When I opened it, I was indeed dismayed by what I found: 12 sprues loaded with small parts. But they were relatively cheap, fast and easy to build, and capable doing damage under the right circumstances.Īssuming a Level 5 might be a bit much, at the price it was worth a try. They were said to Roll on wet grass, and they were miserable vessels for the crew. The Flower-class corvettes were instrumental in escorting convoys in the early stages of the war. I bought this model as a challenge to myself, and because I'm fascinated by the Battle of the Atlantic in WWII. Most are OK at best, but occasionally they hit a home run. I find Revell models to be of inconsistent quality.
