Jeremiah O`Brian, Halinski, 1:200

[docrox]

Hi friends,

next in line is the Jeremiah O`Brian by Halinski, a liberty ship. The model comes along with the ORP Krakowiak, a Hunt II destroyer.

The model is very detailed and it was fun to build although the very detailed winches caused a lot of work.

The railings are self-etched.

The hull was smoothed and airbrushed.

Regards

Hans Gerd

Were all Liberty ships build by Kaiser Shipbuilding?

No, they were built at many different U.S. shipyards. See the Wikipedia article on Liberty Ships for more info.

Just wondering as a longtime owner of a 52 Kaiser Manhatten and life member of the Kaiser Frazer Owners Club, anything that may be remotely related to Kaiser peaks my interest.

Another superb ship Hans, keep 'em coming! I hope you will someday honor us with a build thread.
