I found this kit for half price, so I decided to give it a go. The kit is nicely molded in multiple colors of plastic, and is a snap kit, so glue and paint aren't necessary, but I chose to paint and lightly weather my USS Cleveland kit, and replace the vinyl number stickers with waterslide decals left over from another kit. Parts fit is excellent, and made this fast, fun build.
