I have actually been working on a model. SHIPS AS WELL! Photos coming soon of...

Lindberg Blue Devil
Ships & Co USS Kiluaea
Trumpeter USS Detroit

Detroit and Kil are both 700th scale. I believe Kil is going to be USS Mount Shasta or USS Mount Baker. Not sure yet. Detroit is going to be herself. The Lindy will be USS Melvin. I have the Tom's Modelworks photo etch set and have been sanding down all of her superfluous deck detail. Once that's done, I have the Floating Drydock plans so I'm just gonna do deck by deck and add stuff thats there. I plan on doing all phone boxes and wiring ducts using scrap box Evergreen strips.

On the plane front, I have a 48th scale Hobbyboss A-7A that I am going to do as an A-7E. One of our model club members flew E's during Operation El Dorado Canyon so I'm going to do his bird. Next in line will be three box-scale beauties: Revell/Mono USS Yorktown with a ton of Matty Models parts and a Mono USS Coral Sea likewise. I also have a Mono USS Chicago.

Cheers,


Don
