That is the Seaview, the Atomic sub from "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" on TV and one movie with the sexy Barbara Eden in a tight military skirt and blouse! (She was in "I Dream of Jeanie")

Yes!..Except this is the proper eight-window movie version! The TV filming model was inferior

Yep, my review is submitted...who knows when it'll get published???
Title: Diorama with Ruins
Scale: 1:35
Reviewer: Dave Steingass IPMS #47624
Product/Stock #: 36039
MSRP: $33.50
Review Type: OOB Build
Product Type: Scenery
Company Info: Miniart
Company Website Title: Miniart Models
Company Website URL: http://miniart-models.com/ Provided by Title: MRC- Model Rectifier Corp
Provided by URL: http://www.modelrec.com
Miniart has released a huge number of diorama and scenic kits, designed with the scratchbuilder and kitbasher in mind. This kit is a simple unreinforced brick building ruin, suitable for almost any era or location in the world that has used this type of construction technique.
This kit consists of 35 parts, including a vacu-formed base measuring 238x170mm, one sheet of vacu-formed walls, and one sprue of injection-molded styrene accessories (the accessory sprue seems to be the compulsory treat included in all Miniart kits), and a one-page, double-sided instruction sheet.
The vacu-formed walls are two-parts each that need cut out of the sheet and joined together along the length of the brick walls, however the fit of these wall parts is atrocious. Huge gaps are evident immediately, and brick and mortar lines do not match up. This required me to use almost an entire tube of Squadron green Putty to make it presentable, and then once the putty was dry, I had to file and sand the brick lines back into place. This is a lot of work for such a simple kit, so because of the required filling and filing/sanding I could not recommend this kit to anyone but an experienced modeler.
With the exception of the walls, the detail in the vacu-formed parts is very well done. I wanted my ruin to have more of a bombed-out industrial building look, so instead of using the parts on the injection-molded styrene sprue representing wooden residential windows and doors, I made my own door jambs and window frames from strip styrene, and used some clipped ¼" square chicken wire for window frames.
I primed the entire ruin with flat black rattle-can primer, and painted it with a mix of Vallejo, Polly-S, and Citadel acrylic paints and Secret Weapon washes, and Didi's Magic inks.
Many thanks go to MRC and IPMS-USA for the sample kit.

well as i stated... you could have justified used a quite more negative tone for that one... i mena... where is the point to pay around over 30 bucks for such a kit and then have to file back in the brickworks on the top of the walls? if it were for a cheapo kit from the poundshop i would call it a fair bargain... but 30 bucks are not cheap really...
...EXACTLY Vik! - And if put in the hands of a modeling noob, it would suck and therefore discourage them from doing more.
..And now for something not all that completely different...
you get 4 identical sprues

My P&M Blog :
"This is why I hate the novels. They squash our imagination and creativity and create way to many fluff lawyers. To many "you can't do that because Fluffy Kitty novel says Captain Ichypants lost his pointer finger in the battle of Dogtown"." 
by the way dave... what is it worth if you actually baught that kit? must be quite expensive...
