I was going to start this model for the "retro/vintage kit gb" but that doesnt start until September and Ill be on my holiday. Then I thought(not a good idea some may say) well this is a US Navy themed build and I can start it this week. So here I am.
If Im too late to join ,no problems just let me know and Ill delete.
This is the Revell kit (circa1957 on the box) of a Forrest Sherman class destoyer. This I believe was the latest bit of kit for the US Navy in the 50s.
Forrest Sherman field is also the home of the US Navy Blue Angels at NAS Pensacola Florida so it is definitely an all US Navy themed build..
The story so far
As you will see its strictly OOB and as to how accurate the hull shape is as always with vintage kits open to question.
At least Im having fun with it.
