1/350 USCG Reliance class WMEC Cutter Model ship kit TLAR Models #723.3
This project began 10 July 2023. I took the good care and time to get the 1/350 US Coast Guard 210 foot Reliance class medium endurance cutter "Just so". I put myself in your shoes. "If I was shopping for this model, what would I want included in the kit?" The answer is "Everything"...

Every time I look at her, there is something else to touch-up! I added a little p/e railing and .50 caliber machine guns.
CGC Active won't really be finished until her flags are flying. Checking and double-checking the complex kit contents in on-going.
I expect to have 3 more kits to list in a few days.
Just 10 months from request to fruition! Pschwoo!
Thanks guys, for following this project! Your encouragement and support has meant a lot to me!
Nailed it!

I made a new blog post about this new, limited release kit tonight. It wasn't a simple thing to choose the price-point of the 1/350 WMEC.
The guys at JAG Collective used to say if price reflected the amount of research, time and material that went in to one of their excellent resin 1/700 model ship kits, they would be priced too high for anybody to afford one.
It blows me away to see what 1/350 ship models sell for anymore.
I do everything I can to keep my American-made products affordable. NOT "cheap". Devotion to Quality knows no price-point.

That is high praise from one of the guys that viewed and commented on almost every post concerning this kit! Introductory pricing is in place for 30 days. I linked this M/A thread in the newest Blog post. Perhaps both 'sites will see some additional traffic!Looks like a deal to me.1/350 USCG Reliance class WMEC Cutter Model ship kit TLAR Models #723.3

I received feedback from John about the 1/350 Reliance class cutter kit he ordered.
"Hi Chris.
Kit arrived safely, unboxed it last night. Wow! Totally exceeded my expectations. Castings excellent, guns, helos, and decals first rate. The JAG kits come to mind. Thanks so much for the cool USCG stuff. Is the emblem from a charm bracelet or decoration? Love the Dauntless patch. will probably be the first build as a full hull. The bust markings will be challenging, Lol!
Chris, I want to thank you for making this happen, appreciate your hard work and dedication. Really excited to get started.
Hope you are doing well and having a great summer.
Regards, John"
Since this 1/350 US Coast Guard model kit was John's idea, I may have added some bonus items to his kit that others kits will not include.
I consider this high praise from an experienced Ship Guy.

Maybe John will share his build with us?

He tells me he watches us, but isn't much of a "joiner". I would enjoy seeing some of John's other USCG builds as well.
No one that knows JAG Collective models is a beginner.
Very well, glad he's enjoying the show here.
