Looks great so far. I'm in the middle of building the USS Pine Island as it was during Vietnam,when they had Marlins doing the Market Time patrols.
I have hoped for years that someone would make the Marlin for this kit and as it looke so far it's going to be fantastic to finally have it.
When you get the Marlin up and ready I'll take at least 6 of them for the diorama I will be making for the ship and would really like to have them parked in the water around the ship as well as one on the ship and maybe one doing a landing or take off
