Model Shipways USS ESSEX

[Mark-NS]

Hello,

 

I am looking at the various sales on at the moment and found that ModelExpo has Model Shipways USS Essex on sale.

 

I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with this kit and there thoughts on it.

 

Here is a link to the ship on that site:

Thanks,

Mark.

I finished it about three months ago. I got carronades from Model Monkey to replace the white metal junk that came with it. Here are some photos from my version.

Mark,

I went here to the Kit area and the pinned Index topic:  

 

 

There's 5 build logs with one showing as Finished.   I hope this helps.

Thanks for the help in deciding.  It is a great ship, with a great history.  I think I will order it and eventually create a build log here for it.
