Black Cat Models: I just wanted to say that I took delivery of my USS Farragut yesterday. I am very pleasantly impressed with this model. From what I've seen after taking it out of the box a couple of times, is that all the pieces are impressive; the resin, the 3D items, as well as the brass, are all outstanding. Every piece is nice, sharp and precise. I have not seen a single bubble in the resin pieces, and flash pretty much non-existent. I consider the price a bargain. The quality of your model has inspired me to start the build on it immediately.
The one thing I would suggest would be to add a set of your Mk. 49 enclosed Gun Directors in the kit, as the Farragut was outfitted primarily with the Mk. 49s during the time frame that the paint scheme you are portraying. Fortunately, I ordered a set when I ordered the Farragut from you and will be using them in my build.
Again, let me emphasize how impressed I am at the receipt of your USS Farragut. It is outstanding. Please, please consider making 1/350 scale versions of the other 1500 ton American destroyer classes as well as the destroyer leader classes. These destroyer classes were so important to the allies throughout the war, and so overlooked.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
