Hi Ed, Thank you for the kind words ! However, I don’t have that model anymore- I made it for a longtime friend that sailed on her in the 80’s (guessing you may know him… W Giddens???) Best regards Brad

Hello,
First Time poster and long time interest in models.
I served aboard The USS Julius A Furer from 1976 to 1979.
I would be interested in knowing if you would consider selling this wonderful example of my ship. I run the FB page for the ship and also organize some of our ships reunion.
Thanks in advance

Go to image results. I got lots of excellent up close on deck photos that way.

Hello all, well, finallly got a little more work in here... Finished the basic structure of the MACK, I used some PVC pipe with a styrene insert to give it the shape it needed. also, finished up some details on the hull, and installed the rudder. Also, my wife prepared some of the various fittings for paint- here they are before she took them away. (she never lets me touch ANYTHING that applies paint- (smart girl )) Hopefully with any luck, the hull will be ready for paint tonight- and we'll start seeing some color! Best Brad

The angular structure under the bridge is the Asroc magazine and the doors for the reloading system.

As the others have said, that is indeed for reloading the ASROC launcher. In addition to the FF-1052 class look at photos of the FF-1040 class (FFG-1 class half sisters) as they had very similiar if not the exact same reloading assembly.

Tim is absolutely correct about the angular piece. Knox class ffgs had this piece also. You might find some good photos with the hatches open and the process of reloading the launcher in progress. A very interesting build, not a common subject, but a really nice one... Keep the photos coming...
