WIP: Dropfleet Commander Cruisers

Cruisers, ready for action. Or at least some primer.

Fast post with some pics of Dropfleet commander assembly.  I started with the Cruisers, and am building the recommended fleet composition from the 2-player starter pack.

Initial thoughts:

• The starter boxes are plastic (not resin), with detail quality similar to KDM. 
• Tamiya Plastic Cement works wonderfully.
• There's near zero mold flash and only minimal mold lines.  
• Most of the mold lines are actually cleverly hidden in the ship details.
• Likewise, the parts are cleverly designed to disguise the the seams between parts.  In particular, the "cap" that runs down the spine of the hull and a pair of antenna at the nose hide the most prominent seams.
• Small bits have helpful pins to locate and orient properly.
• I'll have a few places to apply filler but overall I'm pretty happy.

Cruiser sprue. One hull is provided (center top) but other modules/bits are interchangeable to build one of 9 configurations.  The parts are numbered on the back side to keep things sane.

Moscow Class Heavy Cruiser, clipped but not yet cleaned.

First hull half. This center antenna needs to be installed before the two halves go together.  Note that the antenna has a pin/bump to properly orient it.

Three cruisers:  Seattle Strike Carrier, Berlin Cruiser, and Moscow Heavy Cruiser (clockwise, starting from left)
