Thanks, Scott!

I thought that I'd finally finish this 2 1/2 year old in-progress build. USS Scott DDG-995 using the USS Chandler kit from DRAGON.

Mostly just railings left and the water base.

Looks great Carl. What's next in the fleet?

[quote="NCMac"]Carl,

Another beautifully built and photographed addition to your magnificent fleet. I'd seen the "In-Progress" start and noted all your other recent activities (alas, in 1/350) as well as your "travelling ship model photographer" endevours. Congratulations and best wishes for every success.

Still, good to see those 1/700 modern U.S. Navy ships hitting the waves.

Well, here's another class of USN Post WWII in 1/700 to check off the list. I've modified the Corsair Armada USS Garcia DE-1040 kit into the USS Glover FF-1098.

Carl i noticed your ch53 on your New York was popping a wheelie. I don't glue down my aircraft. So on dragons ch53's i add the rear ramp down to keep the nose down. I use the sheet that pe comes on for the ramp. Works well for me and it adds a little touch to the aircraft.

Carl,
There three bastard ships that there are kits for, they are all "Glow-in-the-dark" Nukes:
1. Cyber Hobby & JAG 1/700 USS LONG BEACH CGN-9
2. Iron shipwright 1/700 USS TRUXTUN CGN-35
3. JAG 1/700 USS BAINBRIDGE CGN-25

We all shared the task of babysitting "THE BIG E". BTW, THere was another class of Nukes Besides the Virginia Class cruisers, It was the USS CALIFORNIA CGN-36 and JAG has a kit for it. There was four in the Virginia Class and two in the California Class. Ahhh! And who could forget the six Pegasus class PHMs! 1/700 Pit Road w/FFG Oliver Hazard Perry .

Always a pleasure to read (and re-read, re-re-read) all the pages of this amazing topic !

keep up your excellent work ! :)

Hardy compliments from Greece, today!! Most welcomed, indeed!

Thank you Nikos and Nektarios! I am delighted that you like my models as I am a fan of both your works. :wave_1:

Another great build of yours Carl. I am amazed by the fact that you build so beautiful kits in such a short time. Keep up the good work.

Carl, you never stop amazing me!!! This thread is getting better and better all the way... :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

I am really interested in the kit comparison between the Dragon NY and the L'Arsenal one... I have to decide which to buy...

Keep the great models coming :wave_1:

Here is the JAG USS Allen M. Sumner FRAM II. I completed this model in eight days for the Tin Can Group Build, last year. I have finally placed it in the water, this week.

[quote="Robin"]Carl,

Great work! :thumbs_up_1: You going to give us a run down on the build? What paint you used etc.

Thanks, Chief!

Yes, I will cover the build in a Build Review along with a Comparison Review of this kit and the L'Arsenal resin kit.
