discussion Revells 1/72nd scale USS Barb (Yes another one !!)

[Guest]

Hi all I've just completed this build for a customer about a month ago. I've just recieved these photos back from him today of the model sitting pride of place with the rest of his collection.

For those that know me I don't normally build plastic kits but rather scratchbuilt my models in metal but when the opportunity came up to build this model I accepted happily. The model was a joy to build with no fit problems at all in hindsight looking at the rust I could probably been a bit more suttle , as I said not my normal subject matter but very enjoyable just the same and Garry my client is very happy.
