New 1:48 scale POF kit of the Cutter Alert from Trident Models in China

Pretty sure they aren't brass treenails, but rather bolts for the clinker planks. But I agree -- they look amiss. I can't help but think that real bolts standing that proud would create significant drag.

I do not like the brass Trenails. Look out of scale and stick way to far out IMO. Shouldn’t they be flush?

I think if you buy the kit, you have to sign an agreement to do the treenails just like that..  😀

I anticipate this kit will live up to its promise and allow many to make the transition , if they wish, to scratch building. It  certainly sets a new standard and if the price is as promised, give many hours of  satisfaction at reasonable expense.

This looks really nice, I never really felt attracted to kits previously but this is one I would be interested in building. I also do not like the rivets, far too much out of scale but this could be corrected.

James, isn't it amazing - but it's from an upcoming kit from Trident.
