My grandfather served on HMS Warspite during WW2 in the med and Malta...The ship was hit and my grandfather had severe burns to his legs as he ran across a burning deck...I have his Royal Navy military records...I will get one of these kits (it would be wrong not to wouldn't it?) so your video is a great help
That’s amazing! Always awesome when you can add personal knowledge like that to history. I am glad the video helped. Let me know which one you end up getting.
I've been wanting a model of this ship ever since I learned of it about a year ago on Drachinifel's youtube channel. So happy you made the comparison between the sets! :D
The turrets on the trumpeter one also seems..."fatter" than the academy one. Also Trumpeter is 1942 and Academy is 1943, so some of the differences could be down to refits/repairs/upgrades. There's probably also a bit of inaccuracy in the source material they have available. I'm going for the Academy one, it sounds like it's the better fit for my skills.
I agree with you. I was actually thinking which one I would rather build and I think it's the Academy as well. I've had terrible experiences with other Trumpter 1/350 scale ships so Academy would be my starting point as well.
Comparison videos are sooo useful!
Hope to get a few more similar ones made soon as I’m back to pushing out videos in a couple of months.

Thx for the vid, helps a lot. Comparism about the different Enterprises would be great
I’ll keep that in mind. I own the Tamiya one, I’ll keep my eye out for the Hobby Boss one at a decent price.
