    Has anyone built this kit yet?

    Good morning fellow modelers, Have any of you constructed this kit yet? It’s the Academy kit number 13540. I am considering purchasing this kit, but wanted to see if there were any difficulties with it or if you thought that the standard of detail was better than other brands.

It’s one of three still operating around the globe and the only operational one here in the states. It was very interesting to walk aboard this vessel. I cant imagine what it was...

I’m pleased, but I think I can still do better as I continue to hone in my skills. Also, the first...
