I didn't even know they'd done a Saturn V in 1/72 at all! That's got to be one SERIOUSLY impressive model when built.  :o

Well, it's big but according to the space modeling forums I visit, there are some pretty big errors in the kit.

It's a Dragon kit, it goes with the territory......

Got that Droop Snoot from the first time they released it

I wasn't too impressed with their rendering of it.

No interior detail and they bodged the side windows.

Any word on if this one is an improvement?

No doubt the bridge ennunciator has an extra step above 'Flank Speed' entitled 'Ramming Speed' with a bow shaped like that.  :o

What do they mean Iron Man is fictional?  :unsure:

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Unlikely as instead of a ram below the water it has the rather bulbous sonar dome which sort of bugger up that nice cutting edge bow.

Trouble is it's a bit of a lemon as it was the next gen Cruiser/destroyer design to go with the new CVN and LCS, but in cramming it with land attack missiles and guns, they only went with the smaller local air defence missiles rather than Area Air Defence, and they spent so much money designing them that only three have been ordered and they have gone back to another batch of Burkes as a stopgap.

Couple this with the Littoral Combat Ship farce and it makes you wonder what the USN were smoking as they put almost all their surface warship plans into two Littoral focused vessels types and left nothing for the mainstream deep water navy (Yes the Littoral focus does bring a new edge to the Navy to mix it with these third world conflict hot spots, but they still needed to develop general purpose Frigates and Destroyers too and not put all the money into rather expensive designs intended for coastal warfare where they are quite likely to be targets themselves!)

Looks like a submarine to me, seriously. All it needs is a periscope or two sticking out of the bridge

Maybe that's where they got the design from....
