I was also able to obtain a new Gloire class French light cruiser hull from Strike Models.
I have had several of these hulls when Swampy was still making them, and the one thing that I noticed about the hull from Strike Models is that it is similar in quality to the best of the hulls that I got from Swampy.
I think that Swampy had a few different fiberglass shops over the years, and some of the hulls were better than others, when it came to the gel-coat, hull thickness, and such.
Anyhow, the hull that I got from Strike Models, is very nice indeed, with the white gel-coat, crisp edges, nice thick sides, and uniform thickness on the bottom. A true work of art.
