Hi Guys,
My recent build on a commissioned 1/700 USS Clifton Sprague has got me inspired to build a poor flood victim from my stash for a local GB which I'm to judge. Thought I'd support the group so this is...
what the box and contents look like...no sprue shots as they're awfully caked in dried mud in the plastic wrapping.
I've got 6 months to do this as the GB ends in July. Checked out all the parts and they're all there only the decals suffered so will need to find suitable numerals.
My first foray into 1/350 scale and have three more of this class of ships in the stash including in 1/700. I have aftermarket PE for both scales. The two 1/350 scaled Dragon kits come with its own PE minus the railings which I can get generic ones.
So far the Tamiya Fletcher looks an easy build with separate assembly components for easy painting without too much masking if planned properly.
Hope you guys will join me once the glue and cutters get going. Its free seating and refreshments but Corvid SOPs must be adhered to.
Cheers,
Richard
