I happened to be strolling through Hobby Lobby when I spotted a bright pink sign exclaiming "40% all Boxed Kits!". Intrigued I took a look and quickly spotted two Pirate Ships from Revell, a closed glance caused me to see that they were labelled as being 1/350th scale. I am always looking to enlarge my 1/350th fleets and thought that these would be a nice addition, and the thought that they were nearly half off caused me to buy both of the models available in the store.
Once I got home I opened the box and was shocked at the size of the boat. it is nearly nine inches long, far too large to be 1/350 scale. To confirm my suspicions I compared it to my model of the San Martin, it simply dwarfed the Zvezda kit. Now I have two (count 'em, two) GIANT ship models that won't go with my other ships (unless I concoct some crazy story line in the campaign game that would have one of the nations suddenly building huge ships).
So, if somebody wants a couple of ships that might just work as 15mm kits drop me a line at daftrica89@yahoo.com, we can work out a deal.
