Hi, what are the issues with trumpeter turret? Im building the kit now and noticed that Miniarm has a replacement turret.

As far as I know there really isn't any. I know Miniarm offered this same turret as a replacement for the horrible Skif kits, so it might have slightly better detailing out of the box then what the Trumpeter kit has. IMO not worth the money.

There are several slots on the sides of the hull tub. These need to be filled, because they are for the supports of the ERA fitted side skirts. In the instructions it is not mentioned, how to assemble the mounts for the unditching beam at the rear, you see them only assembled. They are pretty self explanatory. I made some other improvements found here.
