BLUE WATER NAVY Thoughts

HG, I’m not a particular fan of resin/metal kits, and my only experience with Blue Water Navy kits is their USS Bainbridge from the 1990s.


When I bought one way back then I was impressed with the very complete looking resin and brass etch parts, but in fixing the numerous shortcomings of the kit (warped hull parts, bubbles that appeared in the resin as I sanded to fit parts together, vaguely detailed/hard to work cast metal components, etc.) the kit basically fought me to a standstill.


This is not to say that this BWN was a bad kit, but if you want get a good model out of it you really have to work for it!
