Folks,
I have had a couple of e-mails inquiring on my first impressions of the SWM Trenchant... and the short story is I am ecstatic to be the owner of such a fine kit.
Here is a copy of my e-mail to Dave after the Trenchant finally arrived after being delayed in customs. It was a pleasant surprise to be getting e-mails from Dave asking if it had arrived yet as opposed to the other way around.

Dave,
It's Arrived !!!!
So all those pictures you have sent to me .... they don't do your work justice, you need to see the Trenchant first hand to appreciate the quality of your work.
It is very evident that you think of the small things, as well as the detailing .... that indexing lip ... best one I have see. I really like the built in stops for the WTC .... there is zero question as to where that goes ....
The scribing .... WOW ! I really enjoyed the contour change between the hull and the anti-skid deck.
Bottom line .... money well spent. Thanks for all your efforts on this project.
Cheers
BC

What does the kit look like once delivered?


And 5 minutes later ..

Earlier in this thread I mentioned that photo's don't do Dave's work justice... and they can't. The camera doesn't appear to be able to pick up the contour change between the hull and the anti-skid deck. Here is a close up of a hatch, and what the camera misses is the depressed anti-skid deck and the raised hatch.

It's something you need to see to really appreciate.
For the future SCR editor to be, please feel free to put me on the hook for an article reviewing this kit.
Cheers
BC
