   This is the Atlantis models reissue of the very old Renwal kit. The fit of the deck to the hull is very tricky. Careful fitting and trimming is necessary for this step. Otherwise the build is straightforward.

   Okay. My first review of this kit was turned down probably because I mentioned what the kit originally cost back in 1965 when RENWAL reissued it in an updated version (That was over 50 years ago, why should it matter now? All kits manufactured back then and being reissued today cost much more. Does AMAZON need a list of the reissues and what I paid for them back then?). Anyway I built it back then and thoroughly enjoyed the fun of painting and applying the decals. Today. I would make some improvements to the ISLAND. Since the flight deck is all in raised panel lines, I would eliminate them, rescribe the deck and add some PE railing details. As it is out of the box for a first timer, have fun with it. This was a very famous ship back during the Korean and Vietnam wars. One of her sister ships was the Shangri-La.

   各パーツごと、難なく組み立てる事ができます。ただ、各部品を取り付けた船体に、甲板を貼り合わす時、なかなか合わなくて大変苦労しました。小さな突起部分を押さえ込んだりして何とか収まりました。船首部分は少し隙間ができてしまいました。デカールはとても難しく中々直線を真っ直ぐには行きませんでした。また、デカールはギラギラ光って半光沢の甲板とはマッチせず、光沢のトップコートをスプレーしました。これも気に入らなくて、その上につや消しのトップコートをスプレーしました。1と4の間や、四角の枠の中の透明部分などは丁寧に切り取る方が良かったと思います。飛行機のデカールは小さすぎて一部省きました。デカールの白い直線部分は、一部、100均の白いマスキングテープを細く切って使用しています。後部の左右に出るロープは、支柱の底面にボンドで貼り付けてそのまま挿入したらうまく行きました。

   模型とは関係ありませんが、これまでアトランティスモデルのプラモデルを作ってみて、どれもパッケージが貧弱過ぎると思います。模型をパッケージに入れて移動したりできません。届いたときはビニールをかけていますが、その姿は上面が中央あたりで大きく凹んだりして、それは見苦しい形です。パッケージは平たくなるように作られていると思いますが、もう少し厚みが欲しいです。組み立てに問題はありませんが、ライナーから外れてバラバラなパーツが多いです。苦労します。

   全長54cm X 全幅12cm X 全高14.5cm。

   It was a gift for our grandfather’s 100th birthday. He served on the Tico during WWII. He said it is mostly accurate, and unfortunately it came with Vietnam era jets, but he still loved it.

   I was on the Ticonderoga from 1970 to 1973 when it was de-commissioned. Putting this together brought back some great memories. Mostly easy to assemble but some very small pieces involved. Decals require a good eyes and a very steady hand.

   I bought this kit to build the USS Yorktown CVA10. Fun kit to build and fit together very well. Only negative is I wish there was more details included out of the box. With that said I did buy several after market parts for the model. The flight deck decals, island, AA guns etc.
