I finally got another Corsair Armada Productions USS Garcia DE-1040 kit and I'm modifying this one into the one-of-a-class USS Glover FF-1098.

Great start on a unique ship Carl. I also wanted to build this kit but i have found no time to do it so far. I am looking forward to seeing more pics.

Can any of you Skimmers out there enlighten me on what this feature is on the USS Glover FF-1098?

Carl,

Looking good!

Thanks, Robin! You have no suggestions as to the use of the unidentified feature above? I'm wondering if it is a fender of some kind.

Whatever it is, here is my rendition of it.............

Carl,

In the pictures where that feature appears black, it looks like sections of fuel hose on some sort of straight rack. Yet, in the close-up shot it "appears" that the rack, if that's what it is, has a curve to it. Its definitely a puzzlement.

All of the railings, radar and additional details are done and I've applied a coat of Mr. Surfacer 1200 with my new GREX airbrush (first experiment with this new brush).

She's looking good Carl, I like that you turned the radar a bit, that makes her look ready for sea.

Thanks, Dan! I'm glad that you're liking it, so far.

It only makes sense, to me, to position the radars off of centerline for a ship at sea water base. Thanks for noticing!
