Airfix Vintage Classics Set - HMS Devonshire Warships - Plastic Model Ship Kits for Adults & Children 8+, Set Includes 80 Pieces - 1:600 Scale Model Ship Set

Good it’s difficult with small parts

Chatting with father-in-law and he mentioned how he'd been round both nearby model shops looking for this model as he'd damaged the build beyond repair when he had kit some years ago. He'd expected to walk in and take one from a shelf but had no luck, so would forget trying to find one. He's not an internet user, not even comfortable using the phone, while he chatted I bought one from Amazon and told him kit would be delivered next day, which amazed and delighted him. He started building straight away and is having great time building this ship to go with his many others.

The model has some quite fine details, however, be sure to purchase model filler and sanding pads or files as some of the pieces arnt the best fit by far. Also have time for the abundance of flash. That said, and the work ongoing, it is quite a nice model given time and effort

You know what you get with Airfix Vintage range and in this case a kit with a mould dating back to 1966.So yes, you might require a sanding pad, craft knife, filler and some clamps, and experienced modellers will have these things. But it is a hugely satisfying little project to do. It comes with tiny Swordfish and Fairey Fulmar planes which add interest to the deck and with the use of primer paints up really well.

It is quit a size really good

I,m missing one of the main gun turrets

At times I found this frustrating as the mouldings are a proper mess since the tools are 40 years old, and maybe they could do with some service.But on reflection, Airfix are up front about the age of the tools, and if I wanted something which just went together perfectly I'd buy lego. I wanted a challenge for me and my little boy and in the end, it was more rewarding for the extra effort required.And what else was I going to do on a rainy December day?

Not worth the money. Very bad design . Bits missing .bit not fitting. Very bad

I built this kit a while ago, when I was younger, now when I build it, I will be using aftermarket parts. It's a old kit, but has a lot of potential, if you have patience. It was worth the money, shipper got it to me in great condition. Would recommend this seller to others. Thank you.

missing part, cost to return is not worth it, cost $46. return cost $20.00 will just throw away

Buena calidad y acabados

At 1/600 scale, this kit provides outstanding detail, size for easier parts handling than 1/700 scale. Gives a true to scale and historical configuration appearance. High quality molding with minimal flash. Overall outstanding Quality!

For the price it's a good kit .It does need a few tools to help assembly, and some patience, my great uncle served on this magnificent ship .
