Bravo! Excellent work on making the old - highly inaccurate - Revell kit into a true silk purse! As sensor's grew in capability and thus - size - a lot of the original plans became "guides" only. The mast layout was virtually identical on all of the boats due to the strategic need for all boats to have the same gear. The original Ethan Allen Class boats started life with less masts but by 1980, all of the 41 that were in service had the same blisters, masts, etc.
So I would say that Gus's finished product looks 100% accurate for the old Crazy Pollack herself. Fantastic work!
Cheers,
Don
