I received my Academy 1/350 USS Indianapolis Premium Edition in the mail today from Free Time Hobbies. This is my first 1/350 build, and I like the Indy. I've been eyeballing this one for a while.

More to come. The instruction sheets for the photo etch are very nice! I'm going to post them next time around.
