1/350 USS Orleck

Ever since the USS Orleck was moved to Lake Charles, 15 miles from my city of Sulphur, I've wanted to build a model of her as she was when she was a member of the famous Train Busters Club of Korea. I'll be using the Dragon 1/350 USS Gearing kit with Alliance Modelworks photo etch railings.

Here's what I got done while watching the Saints destroy the Panthers.

Weather deck attached, first level of the superstructure built and the twin 5" gun mounts almost done. I've never had a weather deck go in with out a bit of a gap here and there until now.

Twin 40mm mounts built along with the practice loaders.

Here's the Orleck in her heyday off the Korean coast.
