I picked this up at last year’s Modelnati, Cincinnati’s IPMS show. Paid $11 as the waterline option was started. I’m on the road this weekend and brought along something i could build and yet not worry about painting…I’m getting more WIP’s going this way but nothing finished lol
Here’s where I’m at now…
Most of the seams are really tight and take just a thin line of PPP. The funnels didn’t fit together well but all the major parts do.
The plastic looked pretty crappy to me at the start. Very thin and brittle. The positive is that it takes glue like crazy, welds itself together via tamiya extra thin and it’s suddenly 1 uniform piece of plastic way more assembly than i thought though. 2 days into it and still I’d say another one to go before i can spray some black on it. Next weekend’s project!

Very cool! One of my favorite current ship classes. I've heard that kit had a lot of fit issues.

I do love the Ticonderoga Class. I’ve seen several of them over the years. Gonna enjoy watching this one get built.

Cool subject.
Re: Dragon 1/350 Bunker Hill
That is coming along nicely.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
