The kit measures 21 1/4" long. The hull is a single piece casting divided at the waterline. The large parts such as the deck levels and turrets are cast in resin. All the small parts are cast in fine pewter metal. a very large photo-etched brass sheet is provided as well. This kit while not for the novice modeler, is recommended for the modeler of average skill. The kit makes a great addition to any 1/350 scale collection.
