Are we going to see a diorama with a TB attacking the DD? Cute little plane. I like it a lot.

Fantastic Bob.... Very nice work. Again I'm stunned by you guys that can build small stuff. Love the aircraft and the torpedoes.

Best Regards,

Red face ERROR!!! Mea Culpa!
Back to the drawing board!....these should be QUADRUPLE torpedo mounts...not TRIPLE....I need to get the DE's off my mind!!....will need to reconstruct these as Quads:(!!! The paper thinkness is 40lb for the torpedo tubes and probably 70 lb or so for the rest...I have so many different types of card paper...that I never know lwhich is which...I just select it by finish and thickness by handling it....the suff for the torpedo tubes is like a thicker 20 lb paper...more like paper than card stock...

Excellent work, Bob!

I really like your micro aircraft, that came out great!!

It's quite a feat to incorporate the details from 1/200 scale into the half-sized 1/400 model, and you're doing a superb job of it.

I'm looking forward to seeing more, so please treat us to more updates when you can.

Cheers!
Jim

Beautiful! I love those pre-war DDs (although the Fletchers and Sumner/Gearings were beautiful ships, too).

Maybe an odd comment but those depth charge racks are something else

Egads! That is quite the build. I don't find the comment about the depth charge racks to be at all odd. They are magnificent.

It looks like 1:400 is becoming quite the fad around here. Is the paint job on this boat actually historic? I like it.
