ArnoldAmbrose Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Gidday Steve, that's certainly looking impressive. Add the second funnel and missing turrets, place it on a blue surface and you have a model of USS Missouri after the captain's bath overflowed. 🙂 Good luck with the puppy, the first tens years are the worst. 😁 Regards, Jeff. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That model is simply stunning, superb detail. Plus it demonstrates the awesome AA firepower these ships could provide. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I remember when my pup munched through my phone charger, had to save up to buy a new one (on a teenager's dime), so sans phone for quite a while...but then the internet didn't really exist then and most people didn't even have mobiles. Agree with @ArnoldAmbrose she looks a lot busier now and much more menacing to our winged brethren. One thing I hadn't noticed before is the 'wasted' space between the funnels, would've thought they could squeeze in another raised platform with some more AA?

ArnoldAmbrose Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Gidday, I think it would have to be raised rather high or the muzzle blast would affect the crews of those quad 40mm below them. Just a thought. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve5 Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 I believe you could be right Arnold . I couldn't get these baskets glued properly , when I remembered soldering , it was much easier . two different sizes , and lots of different stands for them . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
