SPA Modeler

Got to visit this beautiful lady several years ago.



It comes with several frets oh PE. A LOT of PE. Small PE.

Oh, Lordy what have I gotten myself into!? She was not near Pearl Harbor, so I cannot use battle damage as my excuse. Notice the number to make of each.

Oh those old Dreadnought style US Battlewagons have such a charm of their own. This will be great to follow.

I don’t think there is enough bourbon in Kentucky to make this “fun”. Nor, enough gebonder. I did order some Gorilla’s Gripthin acrylic. I’ll be surprised if it shows up !

If you want to have a diversion. There are a few you tube videos that friar it home. Hard.

Lyle, I'm sure glad to see you tackling this one. I'll be looking forward to your progress!
