Thank you for this model.

Completed just hours before showing at last night’s Ship Modelers Association (SMA) meeting. No time to complete the bow mast as instructed; just used a straight wire for the bow display flag.

The majority of SMA master craftsmen are seniors therefore I am relying on their eyesight without magnifiers not being able to pick out my glue gobs.

1/400 scale or whatever the computer prints out on one page.

At this scale in close up photos my masts look horrible.

Mainmast Cyanoacrylate glue gobs appear to be several duffle bags in size.

Gun Barrels and masts made from wire.

The torpedo launch tubes are rolled 20 lb paper.

Actually it doesn’t look that bad...from across the room.
