Revell Queen Mary ll, 1/400, review or build needed

[jbelwood]

A close friend just returned from a two week cruise on the QM2 and purchased the Revell kit of the same ship.

Has there been a build or review of the kit on MSW? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't seen anyone here tackle it, but there is a nice build review here:

There is also this:

If your friend's skills are anything approaching yours, should be a beautiful display when finished...

Santa Claus brought this for me a few years ago.  It is large.  Overall it was a very enjoyable build.  Very few fit issues.  Instructions were good.  No issues what-so-ever.  Since building this ship, I have stopped building plastic models in favor of wooden ships.  However, I would build this again in a minute.  I have thought about re-doing it and adding lights to it.

Thanks for your inputs, hexnut and burnside63. Oddly enough my friend has met Len Roberto and

found that Len lives locally. Len built the ship a few years back and has since sold it.
