The Ship Model Forum

This Trumpeter model has only been made with the kit�s photo-etched parts and adding only Flyhawk ladders. The kit represents the early version of the ship and has been modified to include the aft Phalanx. Numerous modifications have been made adding reflectors, speakers, fire hoses, satcom radomes, mast brackets, lights, antennas, and bushmaster guns that the ship does not carry. All in scracht. The anchor zone has also been modified. The wiring has been made with Veevus monofil 0.10 mm. The paints used have been Vallejo 70870 (fs36270) superestructure, 70868 (fs36118) deck and 70990 (fs36375), radar and radomes. The sea is made according to the usual method of gloss mediun and cotton.

The trumpeter kit sure isn't what I'd call a fun build in terms of fit, and it sure looks like you managed to eliminate all the seams which in my book deserves a huge from me!

Good job!

Very nice work!

Nicely done! It looks great.

Beautifully done!

Thanks for your comments.

I have recently presented this model to the II National Online Static Modeling Contest and I have obtained third place in the naval category.
The contest was organized by Full Metal Modeling, which brings together a large number of Hispanic modellers.
