I noticed on some ships, they have the Tilly crane painted white and in some cases its yellow, is there any reason behind this? (just a general question )

I would guess that the powers that be decided a yellow crane is more visible at sea than a white one, not sure when they switched. Mid 90's I think.

A very small update for today - couple of fire tracks and one tow tractor.

Update for today - hose reels on catwalks. Starboard completed, portside is in progress.

This is my methodology of assembling of hose reels.

Thanks, guys. A final revision - with glass and exhaust pipe. And, as a bonus - comparison to the kit's one (hehe).

A cuestion:

North American A-5 Vigilante, was deployed aboard Uss Nitmiz?. Not sure, but I think it was decommissioned after the war in Vietnam.

simon b · Post by **simon b** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 9:35 am

I believe Vigilantes last operated in 1978 on board the Nimitz

boomstick68 · Post by **boomstick68** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 9:58 am

That is correct, they were still aboard at this timeframe.

HI Max!

Sorry I am slow to respond, but nevertheless: Nice work on the crane! Tricky to build, eh? You had the patience to glue the lifeboat-canisters on there individually??? I think if a psychologist would see our work, he would have a field-day (week) with most of us.... here is another level of crazy.

Coming along nicely!!

Cheers: Laci
