Ron Bell 199 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Had a bit of fun with this. Used left over bits of wood decking from another kit to give the ship a "real" wood deck. Replaced the catwalk with thinner stock and veneered it as well. Replaced the kits smoke stack and other piping. Replaced all masts, spars and davits with rod stock and brass wire. Added PE railing and rigging from stretched sprue and a new wooden plaque for a base. Fun little project. Link to post Share on other sites

VonL 51 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Love it! Never saw one built before. Very cool - but she's gonna be hard to spot amongst all of those Essex carriers. Link to post Share on other sites
