Yeah Bruce, the Felxy CA works great on PE. It attaches fast and holds stronger that normal CA. Pricy but I bought another bottle because I like it so much.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Got some PE work done on the Spruance. A bit more to do.

I did not realize that the SpruCans were refitted with VLS. Looking real good!

Now that the Sufa and Typhoon are complete, back to the Spruance in earnest.
I added some more PE to it, and of course it's fighting me all the way. Small steps.
The aft mast is not attached, and of course not done, and I need to put one more rail on the top fore mast around the SPS-55 surface radar, but I'm not feeling it right now. :whistle:

Looking very sharp. And yes, ship builds with PE are not rapid. They are long projects requiring patience and persistence.

Great looking build, that's a lot of tiny PE
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
