Carts Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Halcyon USS Sulaco,Purchased from a model shop in Hunstanton about 17 years ago,Quickly built,and just as quickly forgotten about,Actually got round to painting it up about 2 weeks ago. In the meantime,managed to lose the little drop ship that came with it,and the decals,Luckily,have the old AMT USS Enterprise kit with its fleet decal sheet ,so cut out the required letters from that. Model is about 12 ins long Cheers Andy 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) I've always wanted one of these. A great model from a great movie. Full of great quotes. ... "All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I *love* the Corps!" Edited August 26, 2017 by Thud4444 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 wow - an old kit which at the time of being readily available, sadly got overlooked by myself, leaving this as one of those wish list models I probably wont ever get a chance to now make really nice work there - tip top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 A warship that LOOKS like it could give you a BAD DAY Its a relatively simple kit but builds up beautifully - the skill is in the paint job and you've done a great job with the panels in this one. I built one of these last year and painted mine slightly lighter, but this looks the biz! The little dropship looks cute with it too. I won't post a pic in your thread but you can find my build through the links in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carts Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Cheers Kallisti,it was actually looking at your build thread that got me going on this kit,it had been sitting on a shelf "all built up with no -where to go!"for a very long time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
