White Ensign Models continues to turn out some very interesting
detail sets in their 1/350 scale range. This particular release
is more like a "super set" in that it has just about everything
you'll need on the flight deck of Trumpeter's 1/350 WW2 USS
Hornet.
This set includes:
- 14 bomb trollies
- Forward flight deck wind break braces
- Four forklifts w/drivers(!!!)
- Arrestor wire guides
- 11 torpedo/bomb trailers
- Elevator edge retractable rails
- Two B-25B interior detail sets
- Two B-25B exterior detail sets
- Forward flight deck wind breaks
- Forward deck end retractable railings
- Six aircraft tow tractors w/drivers and assistants
- Seven tow bars
- Two TBD Devastator exterior detail sets
- Two TBD Devastator interior detail sets
- Two F4F Wildcat interior detail sets
- Aft flight deck retractable railings
- Two F4F Wildcat exterior detail sets
- Two SBD Dauntless interior detail sets
- Two SBD Dauntless exterior detail sets
This set provides a nice range of details to dress up some of the airwing
and add much of the other details onto the deck of your USS Hornet. When
coupled with the other fitting sets for the ship from White Ensign Models,
you'll definitely have a work of art for your mantle!
Just when you thought you couldn't find any greater detail in 1/350 scale,
White Ensign Models has come alongside with their latest creations.
Definitely recommended for advanced ship builders!
My sincere thanks to White
Ensign Models for this review sample!
