Well done! I no longer have my version of the same model - I ended up tossing it out when I cleaned up my parents house when they moved. Maybe, just maybe, based on your success, I should have kept it? Nice job!

I must say that this is probably one of the best builds of this "awful" kit I've ever seen. I got this kit in 1953 as a gift (original square box, etc.) when I was 7 years old and built it like any other kid at the time - didn't really matter as to colors or details!! Many, many years later I was building it again while serving on board USS NEW JERSEY off the coast of Vietnam - and gave it to one of the officers sort of incomplete at this time when we decommissioned the ship in Dec. 1969. I swore I'd had the last of that kit. So, kudos to you for sticking with it - you've actually made it into something decent rather than the mess Revell created at the git-go. Hank
