Interesting, firstly how only the Franklin-class mold - from an Asian manufacturer, at that - is accurate in its details. Oh - and, by the way, a single "resin boy" offering: the Matt Stein Models' upgrade for the 200-scale Revell (ex-Renwal) SSBN.

Just like I think I my own scratch-bashed Thresher is more accurate than this YMW version, whose sail looks distinctly too big.

None of which takes anything away from your building expertise, above, Don - the posting greatly appreciated! Plus, a very interesting lineup, particularly the SSGN-converted Ohio.

Is there a "Piping Tab" (or equivalent) drawing(s) available for the 688- and/or Ohio classes? If anyone can get one to me, I'd love to take a crack at mastering a truly accurate foredeck, for either or both these boats.


Cheers,
