Thanks John!! Had to start over on it since I did the first cutting a little short So far I'm fairly happy with what I've gotten done so far... Now I am stuck on how to proceed. I need to pull out my 1/542 Forrestal and scope out the subassemblies...

Thanks Red Was wonderin' when you'd drop by

From the decklogs of the Ranger these are the ships that were escorting the Ranger on 16 JAN 1966. Are there any kits of these? Preferrably in 1/350

DD 577 can be based on the Tamiya Fletcher, DD 825 on the upcoming Dragon Gearing. With a lot of scratchbuilding. No such luck for the other two.

OK thanks Red. I know DD-864 is a Gearing Class & the Carpenter (DD-825) Is a modified Gearing. The Sproston is a Fletcher.

Not sure on AO-146. Need to research her

If you show a little patience maybe you ll get a FRAM Gearing in the near future.
