1/350 US Coast Guard Island class 110' Cutter. TLAR Models #425

[Rhino]

It begins with short cast on a 1/350 210' WMEC lower hull. Since not much goes to waste here, chopping, sanding and shaping began to achieve a .72
inch beam and close to 3.77 inch length. Yes, the hunk of lower hull started superstructure construction. The bridge winders fi well and looked cool, until I was reminded to look at the references. They don't look like a control tower anymore. Luftballoon Angriff for spray shield installation...................



.......brings us all here, without enduring every long-winded, boring, step in Mastering. These are almost always ugly before they go to mold. This 1/350 Island class WPB is no exception. More filling and shaping to come. I tried to buy some photo-etched mast parts from an eBay vendor in China for this model.
They want $207.30 in shipping for a $9.00 item. They need our business a lot more than we need theirs.

That's absolute horseshit. I saw another post about some asshole trying to gouge and blame tariffs.

I ordered something for the dogs, didn't realize it was from china but there was no unreasonable shipping charge. These assholes can kiss my ass.
