Interesting...
Not real crazy about the split hull and insert pieces... Kind of disappointed the details on the sides of the charthouse are molded on and not separate pieces...
My initial thoughts stand -- I'd be using some of the updated parts in this new kit to dress up the standard old Revell 80' Elco kit, particularly the twin-.50 turrets, limit rails and guns, the depth charges and cradles, the torpedo tubes, the port cockpit armor/splash shield, the engine room hatch, and a few other parts.
I'm a little taken aback, however, by a couple of the prices for this kit I've seen on Ebay -- $40 and $50! No way, Jose. I'll wait for a (hopefully) more reasonable price on Amazon.

Waiting or the aftermarket (later boat conversion) parts to appear will be worth the wait.

Here's an example of how they secured a heavy wheeled object to the foredeck albeit it probably wasn't secured as well as the 37mm which was heading out on a combat mission. Looks like planks were used under the wheels to spread the load and as wheel chocks, can't tell if any chains were also used to secure the Jeep to the planks.
