I forgot to list what I used in building her. I started with a USS Sullivans kit, added G-Factor brass screws, KM PE campaign ribbons and Squadron shield. Used Alliance Model Works 1:350 WWII USN 5" 38 Cal. for the gun mounts, Campbell scale models HO scale Black Chain for the anchor chain. I scratch built the mast out of plastruct and some PE from a Blue Water Navy kit. The stern name decal I made on my computer as suggested to me on this forum. While I know I can do better, I am overall pleased as this was my 1st ship build in almost 30yrs. Lessons learned will be applied to my next build which will be the USS USS Reuben James (FFG 57).
