In-Box Review Mirage Hobby 1/350 HMS Anchusa
Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2013 10:25 pm
This is an in-box review of my next project - Mirage Hobby 1/350 Flower Class Corvette HMS Anchusa. It also takes a look at a photo etch set produced for the model by White Ensign Models.

The Box

Three sprues - all nicely moulded, good detail, little flash etch



Instruction sheet in four A4 pages - easy to follow, nice rigging diagram on last page (will I, wont I?)



Paint scheme - an unusual Mountbatten Pink (nice)

Decals
All very nice but railings are absent and I could not resist the temptation to purchase my first ever PE set (which cost more than the kit
)

Postscript - Mirage Hobby have just released another ship of the Flower Class - HMS Spirea - this includes PE railings and ladders
Build log soon
