Back-Aft Models: New USCG 311' Cutter Conversion Set

Post by NukeMM »

The USCGC Chincoteague WAVP-375, a 311' Cutter of the Barnegat / Casco class, had a unique look to her bridge area with a solid metal bulwark above the pilot house with an additional visor around its edge.

In addition to this feature, the "Chinco" had a different, fire control platform shack than others and also had flat bulwark along the O2 Level's deck edge instead of a round 20mm gun sponson. Also, a special feature were the cutouts on the out board rim of the O3 Level's 20mm gun sponsons.

The USCGC Coos Bay WAVP-376 also had this unique bulwark atop the pilot house, but with a raised platform extending around the base of the fire control platform shack and she still retained the 20mm gun sponsons outboard the bridge on the O2 Level. A new part will be created for the Coos Bay, as well.
