Hi gtb,
Sorry to here that news mate, i hope the museum takes your FDR because it is a beauty and deserves to be seen, maybe a mention on the ships description as to who it was built for would be a good dedication and recognition for your friends dad.
Chin up my friend, Upwards and Onwards.

Regards

John

Hi John, I talk to my friend he said he saw my posting and told me to dedicate the ship to all that serve aboard her. He also ask me don't metion his dad's name or his. I'll do what he ask of me. Will start backup on the Supers on the end of the month.

Red what matters is you finished it keep in mind there s no such thing as a perfect model and believe me you did a great job on this girl :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: . I'm sure your second scratchbuild model will be twice as better it's a real shame your friend's father never got to see it though.

Now you'll have to start all over again and build her at the end of her career with the angled deck, would be a good comparison to see the two side by side...
