Had to build this ship

By: marlimann

I had to build this model kit. The USS North Carolina was a gift from my uncle for Christmas right before he passed. Needless to say, I saw this and had to do it. It has all the qualities you would expect from Trumpeter. Excellent fit and finish of parts, little cleaning of excess plastic was needed. It is one of those models that comes to life as you build it. Of course at 1/700 scale there is quite a bit of challenge when it comes to building it, small hand tools a plus, especially a pair of reverse pliers. Absolutely love how this looks as completed. You will too.

Getting back into the swing

By: rsohlden

As a college student with not much time, its been awhile since I've picked up a model. The NC was a good way to get back into the swing of things not only by price tag but by overall model quality. Overall the model is good quality plastic. The directions were good and easy to read and easy to understand for little model experience.
