So the website says its comes with a flag and decals set ! It’s unfortunately disappointing a little as the decals and flags are a printed piece of paper! Would have been nice to have waterslide decals at least!A56D04EF-3225-4E43-A94B-6F1DC8EF8BB3.jpeg

The kit comes with 5 bag full of resin and photoetch and metal wire parts! I will have to be very careful when cleaning the resin and try not to break the pieces!2E2A3A89-E861-4D17-8769-809E33E67CBA.jpeg1E975E80-3A00-43A1-8436-5B704A44CC82.jpeg5C415765-443C-495F-8878-F74CC2499AF3.jpegAC7CBACA-9C83-4980-836A-83D22C011C13.jpeg6C48FF8A-6D91-4320-8DA0-314B4985EDA0.jpegB68CED56-367C-4ADE-B5C1-DC879628D576.jpeg

Bloody Nora!! That's enormous! I was not a fan of AA resin stuff but this looks awesome. Please make sure you use a mask when cleaning it all up as resin dust is evil. It's a shame we have to wait til next year:sad-face:. Thanks for posting the details of the kit

Hi Danny
Thanks for that - most interesting. Sometimes large pieces of cast resin can show warping but this looks ok. Why do they provide British and American flags?

Hi there John thanks! I also like the cmk the only problem with it is the base of the crane is quite big ! If I planning to use the train or rail tracks on the dock ... well not for a crane unfortunately... i was thinking maybe I can get a train off loading torpedoes so if I do that then the base of the cmk crane will hang in and cover it ! So might go with the verlinden one that would fit on the edge of the dock ! Im not sure yet ! Need to do research about sizes! We will see! Thanks again regards Danny
