So just finished this one, my first ship kit in about 20 years (I'm more of a wings & rotors man). USS Lassen (DDG-82) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer in the US Navy. Named for Medal of Honor recipient Commander Clyde Everett Lassen, she is the 32nd destroyer of its class. Commissioned in April 2001, she was homeported in San Diego, Yokosuka Japan and since 2016, Mayport Florida I had a great time with this kit (though the P/E drove me a bit mad) and can highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get back into or start building ship kits - really lovely moulding and fit overall. Options include full hull or waterline, 2 helos and P/E comes with the kit as well which really brings it up a notch. Build details as follows: Kit: Hobby Boss USS Lassen DDG-82 Scale: 1/700 Kit No: 83412 Paints: Halfords primer from a can; Revell Aqua Colours with a brush; Klear; Flory Wash; Weathering with oils and pastel; W&N Flat Coat (all with brush) Build: All OOB Some of the rails are a bit wonky (my fault) and she's also missing some UHF antennae (carpet monster) but will replace them asap.

Thanks for looking and enjoy your modelling! Dermot
