The crane of the foredeck has been removed to make place for the extension of the top of the forecastle into a helicopter
deck was capable of carrying a total weight of 4 tons. Renamed "Waker" in 1995 by the next owner "SWI", the ship, stationed

Interesting, I'm thinking of buying this kit myself - as soon as my local hobby shop gets one in stock (they're usually very good at stocking Revell kits) - not a subject/era that interests me greatly, but it looks like a very interesting model nevertheless, I've got quite a collection of 1/200-1/100 scale civil ship/boat models already and this would be an unusual (and colourful) addition to the lineup.
Revell Germany kits are always good value and their newer kits are usually detailed + well moulded, this one looks like more of the same. It's a bit of a shame though that the kit doesn't include a helicopter for the pad - finding a suitable one in 1/200 will be tricky.
