$300 for a 1/350 USS North Carolina?!
I will admit, it looks worth EVERY PENNY.
I am still rather stunned, though, that even given VeryFire creating kits that come with PE, and kits that look to be build able ONLY WITH that PE.... That they have not yet designed
BOTH the plastic
AND the PE parts so that there are alignment and/or placement features for the PE (Like PE railings that fit into a slot molded into the plastic, or small raised plastic "pins" that stick through a piece of PE, that are then cut off, level, with the PE part, that allow for its precise alignment.
Lastly..... I am happy that I chose to stick with 1/700.
Because I am already stretched beyond my budget trying to buy every warship (and as many Auxiliaries/Support Ships as possible) that fought in the Solomons in 1942.
But those are so freaking impressive given the technologies now available for modeling, that it is REEAAAALLLLY tempting to get that 1/350 North Carolina.... That and the South Dakota-class are my favorite Battleships, ever (and the Kongō-class), as the only real Modern Battleships that had a "Fight to the Death" with other "Modern" Battleships (Yes, I do know about the Mississippi being that last Battleship on Earth to shoot at another Battleship. But the Yamashiro and Fusō did not expire due directly to the older BBs - and that the Kongō-class weren't "Modern" by the same standards as the North Carolina-class and South Dakota-Class).
It is a kind of sick-and-twisted nostalgia to think about the Yamato and Musashi (And the remnants of the Kongō-class of BatDiv3: Kongō, and Haruna) having collectively run into the Iowa, New Jersey, South Dakota, Massachusetts, Alabama, and Washington.
But.... Aside from all that....
I hope to see VeryFire expand more into 1/700 ships.
