Misini Arleigh-Burke Destroyer Review

Last January I received this set from Misini to show it on Instagram but I wanted to write a little review here too. As the previous models it looks awesome. I think because of the design of a ship (really long but thin) they are what looks better once displayed. It looks huge and is beautiful. But before I describe the build itself I want to give you some context of its real counterpart as I usually do. The Arleigh Burke-class ships are guided-missile destroyers centered in the modern electronic war. They owe its name to the admiral Arleigh Burke who fought in World War II and the Korean War. These destroyers have the capability to store and deploy helicopters and UAV's from their two hangars since they are big ships making 505 or 509.5 feet long depending on the version (154m or 155,3m). The production started in the 90s and once the ones in the making are completed the US Navy should have 99 of them. I'm no expert so if you want to know the weaponry it has you should search for it because it can carry a variety of guns and missiles so large that I hope the USA never invades my country. 

The build is 77.5cm long 11.5cm wide and 30cm tall including the base. It isn't a difficult build although it consists of 3601 pieces of all kind of sizes. Stickers in this set are easy to apply and there aren't too many of them so that's great because I hate stickers on sets. Quality of the bricks like the previous Misini sets I got is very good. Almost like LEGO parts. It features 2 MH-60 helicopters and the turrets and the propellers move which is a cool detail.  

All the parts come in bags like regular LEGO sets. There are usually 3 boxes per each step and there are 20 steps to do. Instructions are easy to follow as usual but this time there was a problem and there were some missing pages. I hope it is fixed in the copies they print nowadays. I told them and hours later they sent me pictures of the missing pages. 

I hope you like it as much as I do. It is very different from what I usually build and I'm quite happy with it. If you are interested here is a link to their store through my affiliate link: https://misinimoc.com/ref=ari23#
