Dear All:
No, this is not a vintage model or not so much, printed in 2006 by Papel3D of Spain. I received this model some time ago, but since the Baleares and the Canarias have been featured recently by Thumb Dog in his thread I think is worth to review it.

The model features the Canarias after her refit in the 50's(?). The original class are close cousins of the British County Class, which included the HMS Norfolk.
The model has 621 pieces and is ranked as intermediate level of difficulty. Graphics are comparable to the later JSC productions, which to me are the industry standard for 1/400 scale models. It has plenty of explanatory diagrams. Instructions are in Spanish and English. The model is printed in eight A4 pages, of these two of them are in B&W devoted to the hull iner structure. The main model is printed in nice computer graphics, with the nice touch of printing both sides of the sheet when necessary. Main guns are a la Digital Navy with concentric truncated cones. For the main deck the designers chose not to put the usual parallel lines simulating planking.
The Canarias and the JSC Norfolk compared well, both at 480 mm. The graphics of the Norfolk are more than 20 years old while the Canarias is about 10 years old and are similar to the JSC Exeter.
Happy modeling!

Ps: I can not wait for my Dedalo!!!
