shortgrass Posted February 18, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 18, 2021 I am thinking of starting something a little different these days. I am looking at doing a cross section of a ship. Looking online I have seen a couple that look kind of interesting. There is the Corel of HMS Victory and the OCcre of the Santisma Trinidad. Would appreciate any opinions on these two options and/or any other suggestions. Thanks. bruce d, thibaultron and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thibaultron Posted February 18, 2021 Share #5 Posted February 18, 2021 Most of the cross section kits are highly inaccurate. These generally have the wrong number of decks depicted, for starters! The only two accurate ones I know of, are the new Model Expo USS Constitution cross section, and CAFs HMS Granado cross section. mtaylor, Canute, Ryland Craze and 3 others 6 Quote Ron Thibault Shipjack Carrie Price from Pyro kit, with upgraded detailing and history.
