You realize, of course, someone will now release this as an injection molded kit, since you kit-bashed it.

Hey, if it looks the part from a couple of feet away I'm happy.

Also, would happily buy another. I didn't want to add complexity to this project but a kit in late war fit would be a nice canvas for the Measure 32 pattern the class wore. Or a kit in early war fit could easily become pre-war. Who though? Trumpeter? Flyhawk? Place your bets now! Neither was sunk in action so I guess Aoshima won't touch it.

AFAIK Simon (Micro Master) is working on a SLC model in 3D, hopefully to become available (via Shapeways?) once ready. But it is a longer-time project.
He he, I like finishing and collecting my ship builds. I'm usually planning my next project not long after starting one and in many cases it's the lure of the next that drives the finish of the current.
I love 3D printed parts as replacements, enhancements and conversion sets. But a whole kit I would consider the cost prohibitive with current technology.
