I hope your Doc is skilled and your med's are appropriately strong! Hang in there, Cap!

This little jewel was what I ordered with my Squadron 25% discount coupon. I have wished for a kit of Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown's HMS Audacity, but I won't monkey around with converting this model. These Polish model ships kits are most excellent!

The front office looks dandy! :good:

Since The Duke's Wild Goose began her career as a YMS-1 Minesweeper, this kit will include the same and 2 45-foot dive launches.

You've already figured out the original yellow stripe paint was a little thick. Remember the clear coating the masking trick we discussed earlier? Also, you aren't "rushing the chemicals" are you?

The Harpoons were nixed for the maverick. 1,353 lbs of missile on each outer wing pylon was a stretch, even for me. The AIM-9's go on after flat-coat.

3.771 Inches LOA. The superstructure is the proper length as well. Historically, I'm really good at making Masters with too much freeboard. Ima fix thayat!
