Bill Haff Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 This kit came from Admiralty Modelworks, a high-end resin ship model company that unfortunately seems to be out of business now. I built this straight out of the box, except for the rigging and pennants. Amazing detail for 1/700 scale kit. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Gidday Bill, this is another outstanding model. The armament looked unusual so I looked her up - she was a "Porter" class, originally armed with eight 5-inch guns. Very well done with this model. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 That's another corker Bill! Impressive level of detail and overal finish. I'll reach for that old compliment - if I didn't know better I'd say it was in 1/350 scale Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 That really is a splendid model of the USS Phelps, and I agree with @robgizlus comment re the scale. Amongst the best 1/700 ship models I've seen. I hadn't realised that the Porter class were represented in this scale (or any scale). Well done!
