The Ship Model Forum

Something different this time not a carrier but related. A replenishment ship of a new company Ships & Co. AE-26 Kilauea class. It will make sure that my carriers will always have plenty of ammunition.I ll send more photos and a small review to the main gallery ASAP.I think I m dreaming.

Hey after seeing your SAC and this new oiler,what are using for hose's?On my old 1/350 PLATTE I used copperwire and told myself no more fuelers.

Hoses for Sacramento are provided in the excellent Jag kit. So I did nothing more than using those. Sacramento is the best resin kit I have seen so far.

Some more photos of CVN-72. Without aircraft this time.

Your going to give me carrier fever!

Excelletn!

Cheers,
Guido

This photo is what I'm going to do instead of the FFG it will be the DDG.

Thank you guys,
scratchshipnut I wish I could give you and everybody else carrier fever.
Guido thank you for your kind comments.
gtb-red this will look great.

Building Jag's Sacramento was one of the best experiences I had with resin models. This kit is easy to build, has superb quality and although it is not an 80s-90s version (I like building ships in this era or later) it can be easily converted to that. I wanted something even better armed than the combination of Sea Sparrow launchers/Phallanx CIWS. So I added two RAM launchers which replaced the Sea Sparrow system and made some other modifications such as the addition of Mk-23 TAS, Inmarsat antennas, SRBOC launchers, SLQ-32, OE-82 and other electronic/communication antennas. I used an MH-60 helicopter in place of the CH-46. I finished building this kit in 20 days. I thought it would take much longer but as mentioned above this kit is easy to build and I enjoyed every part of the building process.

Something smaller this time. A Hellenic Navy Kortenaer class frigate. Kortenaers are the most numerous class of warships in the Hellenic Navy( 10 of them are in service).

Where did you get THAT (lovely, btw) model? Scratchbuild? I don't know of any Kortenaers in 1:700...
