As usual with Flyhawk's supersets, this one seems to be one stop shop for super detailing your warship, as it consists from PE, brass and resin parts.
To give you a better insight into details, I have scanned PE frets in 600 dpi, while resin and brass parts in 1200 dpi, so the pictures are quite big, and therefore linked to my google photo album.
So, to start with the box:
Typical sturdy Flyhawk superset box that seems to being able of absorbing quite some punches (if needed during it's flight to destination), at least more some than usual model kit boxes.
Inside, the parts are wrapped in air bubble paper to prevent any damage from shaking.
On to the parts:
1) PE frets:
7 of them are included, and for a ship this size, they are pretty crowded, and as usual, relief.
- A fret consists entirely from AA guns: 8x 37mm single gun with shields; 4x 37mm dual guns with shields; 6x 37mm dual guns without shields; 4x 20mm quads with shields
- B fret consists from: 6x 20mm dual AA guns with shields; superstructure, main gun and torpedo mount details, etc.
- C fret has additional superstructure details, guards rails, funnel handrails and others
- D fret gives you radar, boat details, even the fire hose with their mounts are represented (though, these will probably cry for some serious magnifiers when tackled)
- E fret comes full with watertight doors, cable reels, and (probably) ammo boxes
- F fret has all the deck's railing, portholes, 2D chains, boat rows and other
- G fret consists of main deck, mine rails and boat davits
2) Brass parts:
4 150mm main guns are provided, as well as 24 bollards
3) Resin parts:
Parts for 2 paravanes are included, as are the 3 gun directors (?)

I have just taken the parts out of box, so no dry fitting was attempted.
My personal impressions are that the set is quite comprehensive for a pretty small craft such as destroyer.
The one thing that I will probably add are the BFM resin mines.
Talking about the high points of this set, it is the "one stop shop", the packaging is first rate (no damage to any of parts) as for the price, mine was acquired for some �32 at Hobbyeasy (though it almost doubles the price of a kit), and I just had to get this set.
The first thing that crosses my mind when thinking of low points for this set are the instructions.
Parts that are shown look pretty straightforward, the problem lies with quite many parts that are not mentioned in instructions - like (probably) ammo boxes and some sort of windows on fret E.
Obviously, one will have to consult other sources than instructions when building this kit.
My references are scarce so I wouldn't want to comment on the set's accuracy, also, since the set nowhere states what are any of the parts, I might have mislabeled some of the PE parts (like the AA guns), so, please, correct me if I am wrong.
