Items of note:
32 of the 1x4 railing pieces
2 one-piece 4x missle racks (not articulated, but nice in small scale)
2 missile launchers (non-firing) with side pegs
4 small-scale missles for above
3 two-piece radar dishes. Not yet sure if I like them or not
2 tiny turrets (like a round-topped 3062b)
1 small-scale crane/gantry/waldo or what-not
2 small-scale landing craft
1 helicopter with spinning rotor
1 mast tower. Rather disappointing; it's triangular with an open back,
and it's designed to clip onto an 8LDU bar rather than attaching to
the top of a brick. I don't think I like it.
The instructions give an itemized piece count, but I didn't have time to
scan it. Somewhere around 120 grey 2x4 bricks, a few 1x2 trans-smoke
bricks, and 6 2/3-height 4x16 bricks in grey and black. These first
appeared, I believe, in the Sea Wolf sub but are also in the new Jet Fighter.
Another cool offering, on the whole. I long ago dismantled my battleship
and carrier, so I can't check the scale. Looks neat in any case.
Dave!

| In lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, dudes wrote handy heads up material. Thanks guys. Being a fan of MB especially for hulls (URL) am particularly interested in the sub and the destroyer, neither of which have been seen out here in the periphery. The (...)
