Very nice work. I hope to have my hull by the end of the month to start on the same ship but in R/C I hope I can do her as much justice as you have done.

Bill's magnificent Santee {CVE-29} needs to be seen . There is so much information for the scratch builder to follow and like ARHs builds takes time to digest. At the same time viewing the craftmanship always provides that kick of inspiration that we all need from time to time .

I'm making a 1:1000 CVE-26 USS Sangamon and photos of your work make a rich source of reference for me. So - much thanks, more power and all the best. Ady Yazon, Quezon City, The Philippines
